[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #8282: Is there a function for this? From: cnewbill <email protected>

Bug description: Is there a function for this?

I guess this is more of a hack than anything, but I really needed eval()'s code NOT to be displayed right away. So I used ob_start(), ob_get_contents(), and ob_end_clean().

<?php

$stuff = "Hello, ";

ob_start(); // start buffer
eval("print 'World!';"); // execute code
$retval = ob_get_contents(); // return executed code
ob_end_clean(); // delete the buffer

print $stuff.$retval;

?>

This would print "Hello, World!" instead of "World!Hello, ".

Is there a function to do this already?

Thanks,
Chris
