I think this should illustrate how to do that:
<?
$code = '
<?
$a = 1;
print $a;
?>
';
error_reporting(0);
ini_set('track_errors',true);
$php_errrormsg='';
ob_start();
eval('?>'.$code);
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
if($php_errormsg) echo "Error was: $php_errormsg<br>\n";
else echo "Output was: $output<br>\n";
?>
A couple of tricks:
1. Turning off PHP's error_reporting makes sure no errors are shown by PHP
2. Turning on track_errors puts any errors into the $php_errormsg variable
3. Turning on output buffering lets you catch the output from the code you
are testing
4. Preceding the eval()'ed code with ?> makes sure you start the code off
in normal HTML mode since eval() actually assumes what you feed it
starts in PHP mode which is likely not the case for you.
