Note Submitter: djogopatrao at gmail dot com ---- As a matter of fact, you don't need to use eval() if you want to call a function whose name is in some variable, say $function. You just need to call $function(...); An obvious example (with some interesting implications): <? $repository = new Repository(); $function = $_REQUEST[operation]; echo $repository->$function( $_REQUEST[id] ); ?> One must put all functions that can be called at the class Repository. It's not a good idea to do <? $_REQUEST[operation]() ?> or the user can run anything he wants to (my own experience here) =)
