It's failing becuase $abc is not valid PHP code, but is HTML.
to get eval to work correctly, only pass it valid PHP code.
This will print "Hello World";
$abc = '
print "$Message";
';
$Message="Hello World" ;
eval ($abc) ;
If you want to output HTML, enclose it within
a print "" statement, or something similar.
