Note Submitter: me at jamessocol dot com Reason: useless ---- Michael, David, and Ivan, __FUNCTION__ doesn't return anything in the eval'd code because it isn't in a function. <?php function eval_test_outer () { echo "Outer function name: ".__FUNCTION__."\n"; eval('function eval_test_inner(){echo "Inner function name: ".__FUNCTION__."\n";} eval_test_inner();'); } eval_test_outer(); // Outer function name: eval_test_outer // Inner function name: eval_test_inner ?> Works exactly as expected. (As of 5.2.5, at least.) If you want the outer function, you need to do what Michael suggests.
