do I lose much prossesing speed w/ eval()

[redzzzon]

Hi all

When pulling a long array from the db, then evalulating the string
with eval() does the php engine take signifigantly longer to deliver the page to the user? That is compared to delivering the content w/o eval().

Thanks

i've seen a whole bunch different threads you've strated all concerning eval(). general speaking eval() should be avoided, there almost always a better way of re-using chunks of PHP code other than using eval(). what are you trying to do exactly?
