      the string immediately. In PHP 4, <function>eval</function> returns
-     &false; unless <function>return</function> is called in the evaluated
+     &null; unless <function>return</function> is called in the evaluated
      code, in which case the value passed to <function>return</function> is
      returned. In PHP 3, <function>eval</function> does not return a value.
