note 9558 added to eval

The following tooks me an hour to figure out: If you have a variable $hdl contains the name of the function that you want to execute, and you have the variable $var contains the values that need to be passed into the function in $hdl, the way to execute them is: eval ("$hdl (\$var);"); So, you can have functions's names saved in a database, and pass in values come from somewhereelse, and dynamically choose the right functions to process the input data. http://www.php.net/manual/function.eval.php
