unexpected $ eval()'d code - help

[bike5]

I have a string I want to use eval on but I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in C:\filepath\test1.php(54) : eval()'d code on line 1

code:

$result = "$test($POST[$test],$POST[$val])";
echo $result;//== name_len_min(2,s)
echo eval($result);

Does anyone know why this error is being thrown? Thanks.

I fixed the problem by using:

echo eval($test($POST[$test],$POST[$val]));

Hopefully this will help someone else who has the same type of problem.
