Re: Re-engineering print() - PHP 4 required

Here's what you wrote, 01-01-10:

Try this: function my_eval($code) { ob_start(); eval($code); $retval = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $retval; } $str = my_eval("echo 2+2;"); echo $str;

Mr. Lerdorf, Mr. McClahahan, Mr. Butzon et al, Thank you for your replies. It appears I'm going to have to see about having my server upgraded to PHP 4 in order to solve the problem, as PHP 3 does not support ob_*(). If anyone else is paying attention to this thread, please be advised that ob_ functions require PHP 4. Thanks to all who have helped.
