note 100643 added to function.include

I found a good solution how to include a text that is defined as a string and contains php-code that must be executed. All defined local vars are exported out to the global scope after execution. <?php function include_text($text) { // executing script eval ("?>$text"); // exporting global vars $GLOBALS += get_defined_vars(); } include_text ('<? $a = 2; $b = $a + 2; ?>'); echo "a = $a<br>"; echo "b = $b"; ?> Output: a = 2 b = 4 ---- Server IP: 195.54.192.44 Probable Submitter: 127.0.0.1 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100643 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100643 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100643 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
