Hi there, I may have come into trouble when i tried to use the code i saw on a tutorial (http://www.phpeasystep.com/phptu/28.html). I am just a newbie in PHP and exploring its functions.

To be honest, unless you can think of a practical reason to fiddle around with this, I'd avoid it. eval() is a pretty dangerous thing to run on *anything* from outside your control, and there is little need to use eval() in 99% of PHP projects. Take the tutorial for what it is, a tutorial. I would use it work through what's happening but I wouldn't try and build on it in any practical project unless you have a very compelling reason. Col
