Something curious to note... It seems you cannot call a parent object method via an eval() call. Example: class Math { function mul($x, $y) { return ($x * $y); } } $result = Math::mul(5, 6); # works $result = eval("Math::mul(5, 6);"); # doesn't work [Editor's note: it's working, but not in this you do. Use eval('$result=Math::mul(5, 6);') instead. There's also an example in the manual for eval().] --was-- Something curious to note...
