note 106481 added to function.eval

It may be a bit obvious, but if you don't want eval'd code to interfere with main code variables, all you have to do is to call an eval from another function like this: function localeval($code) { return eval($code); }; $a = "a"; echo '$a before eval code: ' . $a . "\n"; // prints "a" localeval('$a = \'b\';'); echo '$a after localeval: ' . $a . "\n"; // still prints "a" eval('$a = \'b\';'); echo '$a after eval: ' . $a . "\n"; // prints "b" ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 84.123.88.202 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106481 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106481 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106481 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
