1.)No comment too, but one thing I would like to post as a bug is that eval() does not produce informational error messages, if something went wrong in an eval() it produces "Parse error in unknown line 1" (or similar) - what if it would produce "Parse error in eval() #4 line 3"? 2.)if eval() would return a bool if the code executed it would be fine, I´ve to agree, 3.) even becasue there´s no function (I know) of, which parses a snipplet of code and returns if it is valid code (if there isn´t ill post this as a bug too) regards Bug Database wrote:
