Hi, recently I stumbled across the EvalForbiddance RFC (http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=288). It turns out that XML_Query2XML (I'm the lead developer for that package) uses eval() in a couple of places: - http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2 XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_sql.simplequeryspecification - http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2 XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_condition - http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2 XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_value Especially in the last two cases the use of eval() really simplifies things (IMHO). I would not like to make BC breaks but if they are really necessary I would prefer this issue being settled before going stable some time in the near future. tanks a lot for your input, Lukas
