using if condition with eval??

[nuttynibbles]

i have a function which gets the '>' or '<' operator sign as a parameter

now i need to use this parameter in if-else condition

i tried using eval but it always return true..

how should i go about with this?

flag it and use a control structure.

function do_something($flag=0) {

    if($flag === 0) {

        return '< operation';

    } else {

        return '> operation';

    }

}

echo '<p>',do_something(),'</p>';
echo '<p>',do_something(1),'</p>';

Is this something similar to what you're attempting?

<?php
function compare($iLeftValue, $sOperator, $iRightValue)
{
    switch (true)
    {
        case ($sOperator === '>'):
            return ($iLeftValue > $iRightValue);
        break;
        
        case ($sOperator === '<'):
            return ($iLeftValue < $iRightValue);
        break;
    
        default:
            return false;
        break;
    }
}

compare(5, '>', 10); #false
compare(5, '<', 10); #true

?>
