How can PHP beginners effectively utilize the array_walk function and closures to manipulate arrays of file names?

To manipulate arrays of file names using the array_walk function and closures in PHP, beginners can define a closure that performs the desired manipulation on each file name and then use array_walk to apply this closure to each element in the array. 

// Array of file names
$fileNames = ['file1.txt', 'file2.jpg', 'file3.pdf'];

// Define a closure to manipulate file names
$manipulateFileName = function (&$fileName) {
    $fileName = strtoupper($fileName); // Example manipulation: convert file name to uppercase
};

// Apply the closure to each element in the array
array_walk($fileNames, $manipulateFileName);

// Output the manipulated file names
print_r($fileNames);
