note 55857 added to function.eval

This function will take any combination of HTML and (properly opened and closed)PHP that is given in a string, and return a value that is the HTML and the RESULT of that PHP code and return them both combined in the order that they were originally written. I tried using both the eval_html(gave me carp about using 's and "s in the HTML) and html_eval2(gave me the results of the PHP first, then all of the HTML afterwards) posted by the other users on this function's notes, but for some reason, neither of them would really work the way I had understood that they would work,(or in the case of some of my code, work at all) So I combined the best of what I saw in both, and created eval_html3 <?php function my_eval($arr) { return ('echo stripslashes("'.addslashes($arr[0]).'");'); } function eval_html3($string) { $string = '<?php ?>'.$string.'<?php ?>'; $string = str_replace( '?>', '', str_replace( array( '<?php', '<?' ), '', preg_replace_callback( "/\?>(.*?)(<\?php|<\?)/", "my_eval", $string ) ) ); return eval($string); } ?> Good luck! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55857 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55857&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55857&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55857&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55857&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55857&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55857&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55857&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
