When using a PHP function that requires a callback, how do we pass a custom...

...parameter to the callback? For example,

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php

<?php
// this text was used in 2002
// we want to get this up to date for 2003
$text = "April fools day is 04/01/2002\n";
$text.= "Last christmas was 12/24/2001\n";
// the callback function
function next_year($matches)
{
// as usual: $matches[0] is the complete match
// $matches[1] the match for the first subpattern
// enclosed in '(...)' and so on
return $matches[1].($matches[2]+1);
}
echo preg_replace_callback(
"|(\d{2}/\d{2}/)(\d{4})|",
"next_year",
$text);

?>

If we want to pass a custom parameter to the next_year callback function, how can we do that?

Many thanks to you all.
