so why don't you have your own

function quiet_eval($code)
{
  ob_start();
  eval($code);
  $retval = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean();
  return $retval;
}

as I understand it, zend output buffers can be nested, so no issues with it interfering with existing buffers.

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
