If you can develop your application without using eval() you're better off as it is very slow.

So, can think of faster solutions?

This only applies to using eval() as a 'mainstream' programming technique (e.g., instead of using other language features such as indirect reference, etc.). If what you have to do is execute code in a string, then eval() is exactly what you want. eval() in PHP 4.0 is very similar to include(), and is pretty much the same thing, except the code is not read from a file, but from a string (it used to be considerably worse than include() in PHP 3.0).
