This works fine outside functions or classes. But when you want to eval a function or a function in a class this does not work. Reproduce code: --------------- class aap{ static function aap1(){ return 'aap'; } } function text(){ return 'text'; } $a = eval('text();'); echo $a; $b = eval("return 'output';"); echo $b; $c = eval("aap::aap1();"); echo $c; Expected result: ---------------- text output aap Actual result: -------------- output ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31888&edit=1
