What is THE RIGHT way? : : As far as I can tell, there is no function for : this! : : You may want to checkout include() and family : and write your own function which does this. : It will be easy if include() (require() or : other) reads the file first and then parse : it throught the bison parser... send a patch : if you are successful. <cut> : P.S. I'll give it a try tomorrow! Okay, that tomorrow is today, and I couldn't work it out! I tried to make it but ended in two different types of eval() implementation..... first one was independant of compile_string() and prepare_string() (zend-parser.y), as I didn't know that they existed! I messed alot with the yacc/bison grammar, lexer etc..... :-) Both worked fine, but the only problem is they work like eval.... But, after some time, I thought for this: How does this look: <? eval ( "?><? print 'cool'; ?>" ); print "awesome!"; ?> That is: eval ( "?> YOUR FORMATTED PHP CODE" ); Because this produces error: <? <? print "cool"; ?> ?> # this doesn't matter Enjoy! P.S. While working on the internals, I think I have caught a bug, going to post it through bug report page....
