Re: [PHP] eval and HEREDOC
Hi Peter! In the first version of the template engine I had markers but now I need more complex conditions or operations inside the template files, like array of arrays and so on. I really like the freedom to be able to just open a PHP tag and use a foreach() or whatever PHP function as I please.

Whether or not you like the syntax it's not hard to use in any way. 2) stay away from eval. Just don't use it unless you have no other choice 3) the include+output buffering solution is much better. Another option would be to use markers in your templates and then just replace them with content.

Re: [PHP] eval and HEREDOC
Hello Vincent and thank you for your reply :). That's true, I forgot to explain how I got to using HEREDOC, so .. Using eval(file_get_contents($file)) just outputs the result on the spot and I need to get the whole output (without echoing it) and do some more things with it. require_once() doesn't fit here (from what I can tell), because it would still just include the file in echo the output. I think there must be a solution, but I'm missing something here ..

For starters, this won't even compile. You aren't closing quotes on the line where you assign a value to $fn. You also don't need quotes around $fn in your eval statement. There isn't a PHP function named ucase (unless you declared it elsewhere). I'm guessing you meant strtoupper().

I missed that you had an E_ERROR parse error. Sorry. To answer your question: No. You may want to look at various testing frameworks for PHP such as php_unit and the "make test" of PHP itself to see how they run tests such that syntax errors in individual tests don't halt the whole process. I know for sure the PHP make test fires off a separate PHP process. Keep in mind that you're asking PHP to try to execute code that it can't even parse to start with... Rather like expecting to get an a.out from a C program that doesn't compile. Not gonna happen. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?

[PHP] Re: PHP eval() fatal error
When re-writing this example to a form of "create_function", the same problem occurs: $temporaryCalculationFunction = @create_function('', $code); // E_ERROR here if ($temporaryCalculationFunction === FALSE) { $returnValue = '#N/A'; } else { $returnValue = call_user_func_array($temporaryCalculationFunction, array()); } } catch (Exception $ex) { $returnValue = '#N/A'; } ?> Now I would expect that when I feed "create_function" invalid code (syntax), the function returns false. It doesn't! E_ERROR is thrown right away. In my opinion, this should return FALSE, and only throw an E_ERROR when the created function is executed... Before telling me to read the manual: I did over a hundred times, on both eval and create_function: create_function is not documented to throw E_ERROR right away, instead returning FALSE on error... Exactly what I was thinking using the above code. Now let's repeat my question: is there any way to gracefully evaluate specific code, eventually catch an error and respond to that, without using parsekit() or launching another process to get this done?

No, because eval(), when passed string $str, effectively does this silently: $str = ""; and then passes $str to the PHP interpreter. Which is, in most cases, what you want, because you want to evaluate PHP code. However, if eval() is the answer, you're probably asking the wrong question. You should take a hard look at your code and think of a better way to do what you need to do.

Hallo Tom, am Samstag, 23.

The example in the PHP-Manual is not meaning much to me. How can I print out what eval would evaluate, so I can see how to compose the string?

Hi php-general, I have a question about eval(); I'm having multiple pagenames I store in a database. I also have a lot of functions starting with "content" and then the name of the pages taken from the database. Ex: pagenames = about,download functions = contentAbout(), contentDownload().

Re: [PHP] eval challenge
Thanks for your time, Dan. Currently, I'm using defined tags for replacing info from my CMS, eg: $str = "" Then I have a function that has all the objects in scope, and can perform the necessary replacements. I am prototyping some stuff with smarty, but so far have yet to see how it benefits over my current implementation. I don't have to to worry about non-technical persons building/maintaining the site, so I'd rather stick with include() to build my pages from templates/blocks/content. As I learn more about smarty, I might use it to power the presentation layer of my CMS, but only when I can see a long-term benefit from using it. My cms makes use of presentation logic components, which you supply microtemplates to in order to produce the final output. These components can reside within "templates", so currently my html redundancy is minimal. cheers, neko -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Place in "jump out's" If you know your evaling routine is using 's then use them to break out of the parser. Firstly - this is bad coding - as if you can break out, then so can the rest of the data in the string. If you insist on this method, on any external data check for the break out char and escape it - otherwise you have a major security hole. $str = "text here '.\$node->getName().'more text maybe"; eval("\$str = '$str';"); NOTE: there is no ' at the start or end of the string - this is important. 2. Build a string parser and use tagging... easiest done in XML imho $str = "some text here $node->getName()"; Then go through the string before the eval executing everything between exec tags (be security concious for heavens sake - can be dangerous if not strictly checked) and replace the command with the response. I can provide sample code for either options ... but would rather not mock up a test bed if its not gonna get used ;) PS: Im guessing your building dynamic templates ... have you had a look into "smarty"? http://smarty.php.net/ -- Dan Hardiker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP] eval help
Hi guys, My current task involves passing a string into a function that is able to reference variables defined within that function for the final output. The idea is that a function iterates through objects and eval's the string so that the objects data (name etc) is substituted in the string. Currently I have something like this: $someVar = "testing for node - wootah, \$evalTestArr[TAG_PAGENAME]" then in some other function that gets passed this string ... $evalTestArr[TAG_PAGENAME] = "hello anna marie gooberfish!"; $str = $someVar; eval("\$str=\"$str\";"); if I echo it out, the substitution is not done. any thoughts?

He are the variables from my form wins_1=7 losses_1=0 sort_1=1 wins_2=7 losses_2=4 sort_2=2 wins_3=7 losses_3=4 sort_3=3 I am trying to evaluate the values based on a loop. Here's my current method $counter=1; $wins=eval("\$wins_".$counter); $wins should return 7 in this example. Where am I going wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

[PHP] eval on php embedded html
hi folks, i'm having a problem using eval. i have some html code interdispersed with php code (proper statement not just variables) in a database. when i fetch the code and display it using : $reg_adv_html=addslashes($reg_adv_html); eval("\$reg_adv_html = \"$reg_adv_html\";"); $reg_adv_html=stripslashes($reg_adv_html); print "$reg_adv_html"; the variables work (their values are substitued), but my condtional staments don't work. example from $reg_adv_html : > can someone tell me if i have to remove the tags from the html? thanks very much! dk -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, I'm trying to get PHP to parse commands that are stored in a variable because I'm passing those commands to a function.

Re: [PHP] Eval()??? A variables contents?
I just asked a similar question yesterday. The answer is, conveniently enough, eval().

Re: [PHP] Eval error
lots of things: 1) variables in single-quoted strings aren't evaluated so you don't need to escape the $ in $email 2) php uses . not + for concatenation. 3) try it like this: eval('$email = $email_'.$i.';'); or eval("\$email = \$email_$i;"); 4) you can save yourself the trouble by using arrays as field names: 5) RTFM! that's what its there for.

In PHP 4 you may use return to return a value that will become the result of the eval() function while in PHP 3 eval() was of type void and did never return anything." So, if you're using PHP4, just ensure that there is a return in$php_code that returns the desired value: $thing = eval($php_code); It's helpful to read the notes at the above URL - escaping things correctly for eval() can be tricky... - steve >- Original Message - >From: Thomas Weber <> >To: Php-General <> >Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 10:14 AM >Subject: AW: [PHP] eval() to string??? > > >> try >> >> eval("\$php_code;"); >> >> -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- >> Von: [ rswfire ] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.
