Re: Let's allow eval() to be turned off in PHP 8

Thanks for the reference. For convenience, here's the PR that contains a bit more context: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4084 Definitely don't want to screw up Xdebug, so this would require a more nuanced approach (see also: why I don't want to just try to create a patch). Again, this doesn't solve attack vectors where attackers can write to the FS and then include from it. But it does close one-step "read from this URL, base64-decode, and eval the result" approaches. One less tool in the hacker toolbox for "cleanly" executing arbitrary code is all I'm looking for here.
