================================================================================ NAME ctools_math_expr - safely evaluate math expressions SYNOPSIS include('ctools_math_expr.class.php'); $m = new ctools_math_expr; // basic evaluation: $result = $m->evaluate('2+2'); // supports: order of operation; parentheses; negation; built-in functions $result = $m->evaluate('-8(5/2)^2*(1-sqrt(4))-8'); // create your own variables $m->evaluate('a = e^(ln(pi))'); // or functions $m->evaluate('f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 - 2x*y + 1'); // and then use them $result = $m->evaluate('3*f(42,a)'); DESCRIPTION Use the ctools_math_expr class when you want to evaluate mathematical expressions from untrusted sources. You can define your own variables and functions, which are stored in the object. Try it, it's fun! METHODS $m->evalute($expr) Evaluates the expression and returns the result. If an error occurs, prints a warning and returns false. If $expr is a function assignment, returns true on success. $m->e($expr) A synonym for $m->evaluate(). $m->vars() Returns an associative array of all user-defined variables and values. $m->funcs() Returns an array of all user-defined functions. PARAMETERS $m->suppress_errors Set to true to turn off warnings when evaluating expressions $m->last_error If the last evaluation failed, contains a string describing the error. (Useful when suppress_errors is on). AUTHOR INFORMATION Copyright 2005, Miles Kaufmann.
