Description:
------------
The manual says:
> In PHP 4, eval() returns NULL unless return() is called in the
evaluated code...
This is not true. PHP returns FALSE if a fatal error occurs.
This is very important especially for CLI/SAPI applications which must
often catch fatal errors and propogate them with exit(1).
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// FILE: test/test.php
$x=eval(";");
echo "Non-Fatal Error Returns: ";
if($x===FALSE) echo "FALSE\n";
if(is_null($x)) echo "NULL\n";
$x=eval("<?");
echo "Fatal Error Returns: ";
if($x===FALSE) echo "FALSE\n";
if(is_null($x)) echo "NULL\n";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
OUTPUT:
$ php test/test.php
Non-Fatal Error Returns: NULL
PHP Parse error: parse error in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/common/php/xmake_org/xobj/test/test.php(6) :
eval()'d code on line 1
Fatal Error Returns: FALSE
