Hey List-

Working on a program and I seem to have run into a problem with 
HTTP_POST_VARS. Are the HTTP_VARS considered "special"?

Here is what I am doing, reading in from a file into an array and then 
grabbing each line and looking for  ]string[  and replacing that with  
$HTTP_POST_VARS["string"]

The first echo prints out the lines correctly, but the echo after the eval 
prints out the same lines. My error log shows this:

PHP Parse error:  parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or 
`T_NUM_STRING' in 
/data/www/webpages/test.rhavenn.net/public_html/formmail/formmail.php(164) : 
eval()'d code on line 1


So, its having problems doing an eval on the HTTP_POST? If I replace the 
HTTP_POST stuff with just    $\\1  and then define $string = 
$HTTP_POST_VARS["string"] it works just fine, but I can't do this since I 
don't know what string is going to be, just that it is between ] [  chars and 
there can be multiple ] [  on one line.

Any thoughts? Code is below.

//Read the array
$form_data = "";
for($i=0; $i < count($filearr); $i++){
        $line = $filearr[$i];
        //Strip the ] [ from around the variables so they will be interpreted
        $line = eregi_replace("\]([^\[]+)\[", "\$HTTP_POST_VARS['\\1']", 
$line);
        echo "Line: $line<BR>";
        //eval the variables from $line into themselves and they become 
literal
        eval ("\$line = \"$line\";");
        echo "Lineafterwards: $line<BR>\n";
        //Write the line back into a single variable
        $form_data = $form_data . $line;
}
exit;


Thanks!

Henrik
