How to use if condition inside string in php

Question

I want to know if there is a way to use something like this:

$t1=1;
$t2=2;
$t3=\"$t1>$t2\";

if($t3)
   echo \"Greater\";
else
   echo \"Smaller\";
         


        

Answer 1

This looks like it should work, given the PHP eval page.

$t1=1;
$t2=2;
$t3="return $t1>$t2;";

if(eval($t3))
   echo "Greater";
else
   echo "Smaller";
