Re: testing an if statement in a string

brcjacks,

eval

It is generally considered very dangerous to evaluate code that your program didn't generate itself. This is because of the potential to introduce code you didn't expect. If you are obtaining this scalar externally, I would highly recommend you read about tainting as well.

I have control over the input. It's coming from a database that I, or other developer, populate. Basically, I'm building a series of these tests based on db records. Thanks for the tip.	[reply]
