Bug description:Suggestion for new function

Description:
------------
I've been looking for a solution on PHP as I need some way to evaluate
expressions within strings.

Since with if:
$str = '5>6';
if($str)
Would evaluate as true regardless of the expression.

A good possible solution for this may be a function for evaluating the
expressions in the string, eg. evalexp($str); which would return true or
false based on the expression within the string.

Eval is an alternative however, it can create security issues when used
with user provided content for obvious reasons.
