Re: Re: Eval var from query

I realized that may not make any sense. Following up the eample relates to your original query like this.. > MySQL field name = hi my name is $name > In my script I have: > $name = "Shawn"; $data = 'hi my name is $name'; $code = 'echo "'.$data.'";'; $name = 'Shawn'; eval($code); // prints "hi may name is Shawn". Hope that makes it more clear. - Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Stone" <kevin@helpelf.com> To: "PHP-GENERAL" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 1:23 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Eval var from query > The string you send to eval() must be valid PHP code.
