|
<function>eval</function> evaluates the string given in
|
|
<parameter>code_str</parameter> as PHP code. Among other things,
|
|
this can be useful for storing code in a database text field for
|
|
later execution.

|
|
There are some factors to keep in mind when using
|
|
<function>eval</function>. Remember that the string passed must
|
|
be valid PHP code, including things like terminating statements
|
|
with a semicolon so the parser doesn't die on the line after the
|
|
<function>eval</function>, and properly escaping things in
|
|
<parameter>code_str</parameter>.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Also remember that variables given values under
|
|
<function>eval</function> will retain these values in the main
|
|
script afterwards.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
A <literal>return</literal> statement will terminate the evaluation of
|
|
the string immediately. In PHP 4, <function>eval</function> returns
|
|
&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.

The above example will show:
