Re: [PHP4BETA] eval'ing a method

Just a comment, I don't know in theory if this will work, I really doubt it will as-is.. I see some problems with scope and special characters that I won't get into.. Still. People posting actual code here and asking if it works seems a bit silly to me. Try it! Then you'll KNOW if your code works! Someone once told me that you know you're a good programmer when code you write on a napkin works flawlessly. I don't know too many good programmers if that's the requirement :-) Perhaps you should have posted the idea or what you wanted to get accomplished and taken ideas from what people have say. So... I take it you want to store actual PHP code in a database and yank it out / execute it accordingly? Great question! Try it! Have a good one.. -Mitch ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Constable <markc@renta.net> To: <php4beta@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, May 05, 2000 1:37 PM Subject: [PHP4BETA] eval'ing a method > I this possible ?
