note 39050 added to function.eval

Not sure about others, but I spend lot of time to solve the following problem: I have some, for example, translation data (f.e.: $lang['Message'] = "Hello, $User!";) and I'd like to replace variable '$User' with it's actual value (f.e.: 'Vasya Pupkin') and get hall translation string back with replaced variable (f.e.: $lang['Message'] = "Hello, Vasya Pupkin!";). So, at the end of all this I wrore function, that fix 'eval()'s unability to return evaluated string. So, that is: ================================== <?php function evaluate ($Source = NULL) { eval("\$Output = \"".addslashes($Source)."\";"); return $Output; } ?> ================================== Example: <?php $User = 'Vasya Pupkin'; $lang['Message'] = "Hello, $User!"; $Result = evaluate($lang['Message']); ?> will print 'Hello, Vasya Pupkin!'. Hope, this will help someone... /Alexandre. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39050 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39050&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39050&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
