Note Submitter: turboflash ---- Sharing a code which might be useful to someone. my_eval() is useful if - You don't want to introduce new variables like what eval() would do. - You just want to execute some calculations or some file/database retrieval and return the result. - By returning the result in an array, you can differentiate a FALSE between a parse error or a result returned by the $code. function my_eval($code) { $my_code = '$my_function = function () {' . $code . '}; return array($my_function());'; return eval($my_code); }
