[SOLVED] eval()

[Eris]

Hi. This is a very simple fragment of code and I don't understand why it doesn't work.

I'm probably doing smt very wrong. Plz help

 

$line = 'array("Home", "Invite", "About", "Contacts");';
$array = eval($line);

[wildteen88]

$array = eval($line);

should be:

eval("\$array = $line;");

First of all, eval() was just a typo from the creators of PHP.  They meant to write evil().  So don't use it if you can help it.

 

Secondly, it is doing exactly what you're telling it, it's creating an array, but you're not assigning it to anything inside the eval'd code.  Go look up eval() on the PHP manual to see how to do it properly.

$line = '$home = array("Home", "Invite", "About", "Contacts");';

eval($line);

 

That should work, but why in the world would you use eval() there? =/

Yep, I'm a noob in php.
