note 54730 added to function.eval

I wanted to use an array in my eval statement, but ended up with a parse error. I came up with this solution ... if someone faced this problem but had a better way of fixing it I would be glad to hear it. function array_to_str($array, $name) /* will create an array definition so it can be used in eval function. note that name does not need the $ at calltime */ { foreach($array as $k => $v) { $got_var .= "\${$name}[\"$k\"] = '$v';\n"; } return $got_var; } $str=array_to_str($var, "my_ar"); eval("$str; print_r(\$my_ar);"); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54730 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54730&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54730&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54730&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54730&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54730&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54730&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54730&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
