I have this line in my code:

eval('$field->' . $val . '(' . $max . ',' . $errDisplayArray[$key] . ');');

where $field is a predefined class instance, $val is a string containing
the name of an existing method within the class, and $errDisplayArray[$key]
will be an array element containing text that goes appropriately into the
class method whose name is in $val.

Whenever I run this I get a parse error, however, upon using a die()
statement instead of eval it configures as so (and works!):

$field->setMaxLength(40,"The last name cannot be more than 40 characters");

when I insert this line verbatim into my code I receive no breakage of any
kind upon that line.  I have read the eval() statement all over php.net,
phpbuilder, phpfreaks and zend and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.  Could
someone clarify it for me?

Thanx
Phil
