Modify a globally scoped variable inside of an anonymous function

by

Yes, use a closure:

functionName($someArgument, function() use(&$variable) {
  $variable = "something";
});

Note that in order for you to be able to modify $variable and retrieve the modified value outside of the scope of the anonymous function, it must be referenced in the closure using &.
