When calling eval in Ruby you can specify a filename to display in errors to make it easier to see which block of code passed to eval caused a problem. In PHP eval only seems to take one argument. Is there a way to do this in PHP?

evaldoes not support such a parameter you know from ruby.However, you can install a PHP extension called
xdebugwhich displays a stacktrace in case of an error/warning – so for theevalpart as well.In any case you should take care when dealing with eval and think about what you can do to not make use of it.
