Hi, I want to evaluate an algebraic expression stored in a string
using php.
In other words, let's say i have

$a="24<25";

I would like to evaluate $a in this case and get TRUE returned.

Is there such a function in PHP? I know the eval() function in
JavaScript would do this. using a simple if ($a) statement does not
work since PHP evaluates any string that is not NULL as TRUE.

Thanks for any help!
