parse the code in a variable

[Anon]

hi

i have a string variable which holds a php code and would like PHP to execute this code and store the results in an other variable

example:
$var1 contains the following:

<?
echo "yada<br>";
?>

and var2 then should contain:

yada<br>

is there a way to do it. i checked out "eval". but if you use eval("echo \"yada\") then "yada" is printend out in the calling script.

See the output control functions in the manual; also, as noted in the user notes on that section's first page, both www.zend.com and this site have tutorials on how to use them.
