note 61984 added to function.eval

As per the note below on using eval on a mixed string with php code scattered throughout the string, it works great with one exception that I have found. The string cannot start with php code. I use it the eval a content field from a SQL database and it works great as long as the code is not the first thing in the field. Any ideas why? ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 24.236.96.127 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61984 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61984&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61984&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
