Reading a post variable via eval from a string

bike5

I need to read a $_POST variable that comes in as a text;

I have

//$val1 = $POST[-name]
eval($t = $val1);
echo $t;
//$t = $POST[-name] its returing the string that was originally sent in)

I also tried
$t = eval($val1);//doesn't return what I need

It might not make sense why I am doing this but there is a reason (the post var name changes and it is sent to a function from a hidden feild automaticlly so I can't hard code the name, tis why I am doing this) so if you could please just help me with reading the strings variable inside it. Thank you.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);  // Debug with reports on all

$val1 = $_POST["name"];
eval( $t = $val1 );
echo "t-1= $t";
//$t = $_POST[-name] its returing the string that was originally sent in)

// I also tried
$t = eval($val1);   //doesn't return what I need
echo "<br>t-2= $t";

?>

Try again and tell what reports/errors you get.

Well I got it working with some new code

@eval($error[$val] .= $cut2($_POST[$test],$_POST[$val]));

but I still get errors without the @ there.
The errors are:
Warning: REG_ERANGE: in form_validation.php on line 115

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':' in form_validation_handle.php(44) : eval()'d code on line 1

Now everything is working fine and dandy as far as my results I am getting. I just have to keep the "@" on to supress the errors.. I have no idea what those errors are either.
