[PHP] Re: eval help

[neko]

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,
