note 27815 added to function.strpos

Hi Everyone, I've never really had a use for eval() before and used to think it was for novices (which i still think many applications of it are), however i now know (much like most other functions) it does have a very usefull role. Firstly i'd like to thank the user who uploaded the html/php script (you should know which ones I am referring to) using strpos. But... the i think the while loop was an infinite one. Above it is called as: while (($pos = strpos ($file, '<?')) != FALSE) but this will keep searching the file over and over again starting at zero. I recomend using while ($pos = strpos ($file, '<?', $pos+2)) I'll leave the <?php and <= bit up to you folks... Next, there were many recomendations to do eval ('?>'.$string.'<?php'); but i found that this worked best: $string = ''echo 'php only';\n echo 'yay';".';' eval ($string); basically just adding a ; to the script. Lastly i haven't had problems with globals..... (yet :D) Hope this helped someone, -Adam -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27815 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27815 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27815
