Re: Question on eval()

Maybe parse_str() will do the trick? I am using it in a close situation, I store: a=1&b=1 And $a has value 1, $b has value 2. But I guess to work in your case you would need to stripslashes(); and str_replace(';', '&', $string) before the parse_str(); -- Julio Nobrega.

Hi Folks, I save an ascii-sentence, representing my vars and their values in the db after I request them, I try to eval them. here is what I get back from the db $scar=\"3\";$anrede=\"Herr\";$pf_name=\"wert\";$pf_kontem=\"tzrtzetrz\";$pf_ kontel=\"zuoioopöl\";$zeit=\"\";$pf_wt=\"löjlköjklö\";$sto=\"2\"; (values are just typed in ;-) ) then I try to eval them with $tmpeval=$vars[1]; // $vars[1] is where the data is in my answer-array eval ("\$tmpeval = \"$tmpeval\";"); after this ther should each var have it´s values like $scar should be 3 $anrede should be Herr I also tried $tmpeval=stripslashes($tmpeval); but that doesn´t work either. Can anybody see my mistake, or is there any length-limit in eval ?? TIA Oliver
