 Complete PHP Misc Reference
Definition and Usage
The eval() function evaluates a string as PHP code.
The string must be valid PHP code and must end with semicolon.
This function returns NULL unless a return statement is called in the code
string. Then the value passed to return is returned. If there is a parse error
in the code string, eval() returns FALSE.
Syntax

echo $str. "<br />";
