Eval() Error with eval()'d error

Question

YES. I searched google for any answers.

I am learning php. I am trying to send email using some php code that has this eval line.

eval("job();");

But getting error:

eval()'d code on line 1

Any advice?

Answer 1

Don't use eval(). It's evil.

Assuming job is a function, you can call job() directly.

job();

If job() returns a value, you can assign it to use later, as needed.

$variable = job();

Answer 2

Either call the function directly (if you know the name - judging by your snippet, you do) or, if you don't know what function needs to be called (it depends on a variable value or something, try using call_user_func or similar functions.
Also make sure the function exists with function_exists, for example

There's a whole bunch of functions, built into PHP that allows you not to use eval... just spend some time browsing through the docs
