Is there a possibility to convert a string like "10*500" (parsed from a XML-File) to a float? When i try to store this String in a float variable it only coverts the "10" but nothing after the "*"-sign, but i need the result of this expresison... Is there a function to calculate such string expressions? Thanx... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
