PHP eval() Function
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

$time = "winter";
$str = 'This is a $string $time morning!';
echo $str. "<br />";
eval("\$str = \"$str\";");
