Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-24 10:30:23] wolff dot schetula at gmail dot com xdebug is activated. Without it the script works fine :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-24 02:35:03] felipe@php.net Are you using any Zend Extension? I cannot reproduce any crash on 5.2, 5.3, trunk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-23 10:24:45] wolff dot schetula at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The code below shows the problem. Any return statement inside the function that is supposed to create the code to be evaluated will crash PHP. Not even Apache will send a header anymore. A white page appears. If the returned string is stored i a variable first it will work fine. The quickest fix is a (string) cast inside the eval function. eval((string)foo()); Test script: --------------- function foo() { return 'echo time();'; } eval(foo()); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52676&edit=1
