disable_functions php.ini eval function still work
eval, php
Solution
`eval` is a language construct, not a function, so it can't be disabled. See http://www.php.net/eval for more info.
Problem
I got a little problem trying to disable some function in my php. First of all, i`m not the owner of the server so I can't change the master php.ini configuration. But I tried to change it with the directive the server owner give me. Here is the line I put in the php.ini file I created ``` disable_functions=eval,exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,proc_open,popen,curl_exec,curl_multi_exec,parse_ini_file,show_source ``` in my `phpinfo()` I can see in the local value and the master value that those function are disabled. But my problem start here. In the same file in witch i run the `phpinfo()` and I can confirm that the function are supposed to be disabled, I run an `eval()` and a `shell_exec()` and the `eval()` still work but the `shel_exec()` is disabled. Why can't I disable `eval()`?
