Re: Processing Code created on the fly

Yeah, I have played with the eval function a bit, but it didn't seem to help much. Then again, I haven't ever used the eval function before so I may not know how to properly implement it. I have read the page for eval on php.net several times as well as the very helpful examples, but whenever I use eval, it just prints out the same stuff. By same stuff I mean wether I use eval or just the variable by itself it just prints out the contents of the variable. In the web page source it looks as if the contents were merely echoed because it still has the $'s and variable names. Any other ideas or examples on how to implement eval on this?
