It must not start with "<?php" since eval assumes it is code anyway. Some examples: A) HTML with PHP interspersed <b>Some HTML</b><br /><?php echo date('Y'); ?>Blah you should eval("?>$contents<?php"); B) Plain PHP echo date('Y'); you should eval($contents); C) "Incomplete" PHP (missing semicolon) call_this_function(blah) you should eval("$contents;"); If the PHP code returns some value, this will be the return of eval: $contents="return time();"; $t = eval($contents); You get the idea. -- >O Ernest E.
