Actually, I just realised that what I want to accomplish is different from my example - the main issue is with scope:
<?php /* eval testing 3 SM 33/3/2003 2:32PM */ func1(); function func1() { echo("<br>we're in the pipe, 5-5-5."); $str = "<br>Hello, \$name"; $str2 = "<br>Hello, \$arr[0]"; $str3 = "<br>Hello, \$arr2['name']"; echo doEvalWithVarsInScope($str); echo doEvalWithVarsInScope($str2); echo doEvalWithVarsInScope($str3); } function doEvalWithVarsInScope($str) { echo("<br>trying to eval for str=$str"); $name = "Scott"; $arr[] = "Dude"; $arr2["name"] = "Broness!"; eval ("\$evaldString = \"$str\";"); return $evaldString; } ?> -- will produce: we're in the pipe, 5-5-5. trying to eval for str= Hello, $name Hello, Scott trying to eval for str= Hello, $arr[0] Hello, Dude trying to eval for str= Hello, $arr2['name'] Hello, -- any (more) help is greatly appreciated. cheers, neko -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
