RE: [PHP] XSLT; XML => PHP code

Good day, eval() is a very powerful function. You should be careful that users can't find some way to execute arbitrary code by providing input that your program did not expect. Also, if your string doesn't have the correct syntax, your program will terminate. ============================ Darren Gamble Planner, Regional Services Shaw Cablesystems GP 630 - 3rd Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2P 4L4 (403) 781-4948 -----Original Message----- From: Erik Price [mailto:pricee@hhbrown.com] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 3:20 PM To: Darren Gamble Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] XSLT; XML => PHP code On Thursday, March 28, 2002, at 04:52 PM, Darren Gamble wrote: > Good day, > > To have PHP evaluate string contents as an expression, use eval(). Thanks for the pointer, I have never used this function before. I'm not sure what it means by "as with any function that outputs directly to the browser", since in their example it just shows an evaluation of a simple variable assignment (which I'm guessing doesn't get output to the browser). I will have to experiment with this and make sure it works right. > The usual disclaimer comes with this function... be careful. (... of what?)
