This edits the little snipet bellow which doesn't work <?php // make some variables $five = 5; $three = 3; $lessthan = "<"; // place them into a string $mystring = "$five.$lessthan.$three"; // DOUBLE QUOTES echo $mystring."<br>"; // lets see it before eval if (eval("return ".$mystring.";")) // if(5<3) { echo "FALSE"; } else { echo "TRUE"; } ?> returns FALSE ... of course Notice that $mystring now has double quotes and works :) incidentally this string could also be writen <?php $mystring = "$five $lessthan $three"; ?> without the points which also seems to work ---- Server IP: 85.116.0.130 Probable Submitter: 81.179.118.204 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69995 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69995 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69995 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
