Handle String-Variable as mathematical order

Hi there,

i just wondered if it is possible to handle a string variable as a
mathematical order.

If the variable contains i.e. "2*100" PHP should calculate it, so that i'm
able to assign the the result to another variable.
How can i realise this if it is possible


Thanks for the help,
Johannes

Tested:

<?php
$math = "2*100";
eval("\$math2 = $math;");
print $math2;
?>

Thank you for the help!

Works perfectly for me!
