Why would we have to pass it another argument? We don't pass an argument to include() to tell it whether or not it is HTML.
There has to be somesort of mechanism that include is using to parse the file/execute any PHP inside it. So basically all we would be doing is elimanting the file I/O part of include and going straight to the parsing/executing of the string we pass. This would probably be best as a new function. I'm not sure how it would affect BC if eval was modified to handle this. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Andi Gutmans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 5:55 PM To: Chris Newbill; PHP DEV Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] include() like functionality for strings There is no problem in getting it to work but the question is if we can do it in a nice way. How would eval() know if it's evaling something which should start in a PHP or HTML context? You'd have to send it another argument. This would start being a bit ugly. Is it such a big deal?
