Hi,
in the backgammon possible moves recursive function I need to use the PHP eval function

       
       		$txt = '$recursiveMoves';
                for ($i=0; $i < count($newFrom); $i++) {
                    $txt = $txt.'[$newFrom['.$i.']]';
                }
                $txt .= '["detail"] = $moveDetails;';
                eval($txt);

It was available before. Can you re-allow it plz ?

It is really inconvenient to spend time reviewing code that was accepted before.

best regards

No, eval is the root of evil. You don't need eval at all here (or ever), just use php reference for instance to achieve the same in your case.

Have you read the doc about php ref ?
The code is basically the same, you just need to remove the quote and use & whenevr you access a sub element of an array to make sure it's not implicitely copied by php but rather modifying the original array
