eval() --- i just don't get it!

[j0sh]

hi all!

i took a search on the forum, but i just don't get this eval() stuff! so please can anyone help me and write the needed code for me? thx! 🙂

ok, i have a .php file with the following text in it (NO <? in the beginning and NO ?> in the end!):

$10629293793f5b03e3cda13 = "j0sh";
$10629294043f5b03fc62b84 = "j0sh";
$10629294853f5b044dab0c0 = "j0sh";
$10629295353f5b047f993cc = "j0sh";
$10629295713f5b04a3de76a = "j0sh";
$10629296003f5b04c071569 = "j0sh";
$10629298933f5b05e51f53a = "j0sh";
$10629299933f5b0649d961c = "j0sh";
$10629300153f5b065fc104a = "j0sh";
$10629300633f5b068fb042a = "j0sh";
$10629300893f5b06a9d78e0 = "j0sh";

now i wanna include the php-file into the code of another php-file, but only with include() it doesn't work, because the content above isn't read as php (because of the missing <? and ?>).
now i think i have to use eval().
so i read the whole file above into the variable $session_owners. but how do i have to parse it with eval() now, so i have many nice variables all with the content "j0sh"? 🙂

thx many times for help!!!

eval(file("_users/session_owners.php"));

then the error appears

Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in e:\phpdev\www\server\phpmywebmin pro_logged_in.php(31) : eval()'d code on line 1

$file_contents = file('yourfile');
eval("\$results = $file_contents");
echo $results;

[j0sh]

take a look at:

There is alot talking about this topic....!

Variable names can't begin with a number!!!

Thats why it won't work. Hence the parse error.
