Question

I have this string ($query) returning from preg_replace

'SELECT ({$array["sum"]}/ 5)'

how can i evaluate it, so that the result would be 'SELECT (100/5)' for example !

I tried

eval($query)

But with no success!

Do you have a better idea ?

Answer 1

you’re not using eval right:

$evaluated = eval("return $query;");

take care you do not have any syntax errors. also you just might do it wrong when you build SQL queries this way. Just saying, I hope you’re old enough.
