note 55608 added to function.eval

I used eval() to restore a user's session data. I stored $_SESSION to a field in a database as <? addslashes(var_export($_SESSION, TRUE)) ?> To restore it, I executed this code: <? eval("\$_SESSION = $session;"); // $session being the first line of code above ?> Voila! Session restored. Without eval(), $_SESSION = $session would have resulted in $_SESSION being a string instead of an array. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55608 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55608&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55608&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55608&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55608&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55608&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55608&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55608&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
