Guys,

Just a quick q.

Is it possible to write a statement within a variable, then execute the variable as though it were a statement?

E.G:
<?php
$myVariable = "1 + 1";
echo("$myVariable");
?>

This prints out

1 + 1

Is there a way to get it to print out

2

simply and without going into regex?

Ta.

[php]
<?php

echo eval("$myVariable");
?>
[/php]
