note 67986 added to function.eval

Regarding the problem posted by jkuckartz1984 at hotmail dot com: you must return a value in the eval'd code block, so the code really should be <?php if (eval("return \$total".$i.";")) { echo "eval: total2 is full<br>"; } else { echo "eval: total2 is empty<br>"; } ?> However, this is really a job for "variable variables" < http://php.net/variables.variable >: <?php $varname = "total$i"; if ($$varname) { [...] } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 65.5.197.152 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.0 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_20_30,HTML_MESSAGE autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/67986 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/67986 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/67986 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
