Function From Variable

[BananaMaster]

Ok,

So lets say I have a variable in PHP called $test123 and it's defined to "echo Test1234;";

Is it possible to run that command from that variable...

Try this:

$php = "echo 'hello!';";
eval($php);

Yep, eval will work, but it's suitability is questionable for executing anonymous functions ...

<?php
/** MUCH preferred **/
$test = create_function( '', 'echo "Test 1234\r\n";' );
$test();

/** OR **/
function test( )
{
	echo "Test 1234\r\n";		
}
$test = 'test';
$test( );

?>
