putting IF() arguments in a var

[M.O.S. Studios]

hey guys,

 

  is it possible to place a if() statement's argument in a variable, for example

 

$test="1<=2;";

if($test){echo "it works";}else {echo "it doesn't work";}

 

that will display "it works"

 

but

 

$test="3<=2;";

if($test){echo "it works";}else {echo "it doesn't work";}

 

will display "it doesn't work"

 

I'm assuming if I place the entire if statement in an variable then run it threw eval(); it will work, but i rather not do that.
