Note Submitter: Ultimater at gmail dot com ---- Jeff's code, for evaluating php expressions within strings, contains errors (a misusage of eval and a missing = character) but the concept is good -- thanks for that. Here is a corrected version that should get the job done: <?php //Ultimater at gmail dot com's revision of jeff at kingdesk dot com's code $eval='evaluate'; function evaluate($str) { return eval("return $str;"); } echo "2 + 2 = {$eval('2+2')}"; ?> Note that I renamed the function to $eval rather than the desperate looking $e->val.
