  11  NAME
  12      EvalMath - safely evaluate math expressions
  13  
  14  SYNOPSIS
  15      <?
  16        include('evalmath.class.php');
  17        $m = new EvalMath;
  18        // basic evaluation:
  19        $result = $m->evaluate('2+2');
  20        // supports: order of operation; parentheses; negation; built-in functions
  21        $result = $m->evaluate('-8(5/2)^2*(1-sqrt(4))-8');
  22        // create your own variables
  23        $m->evaluate('a = e^(ln(pi))');
  24        // or functions
  25        $m->evaluate('f(x,y) = x^2 + y^2 - 2x*y + 1');
  26        // and then use them
  27        $result = $m->evaluate('3*f(42,a)');
  28      ?>
  29  
  30  DESCRIPTION
  31      Use the EvalMath class when you want to evaluate mathematical expressions
  32      from untrusted sources.  You can define your own variables and functions,
  33      which are stored in the object.  Try it, it's fun!
  34  
  35  METHODS
  36      $m->evalute($expr)
  37          Evaluates the expression and returns the result.  If an error occurs,
  38          prints a warning and returns false.  If $expr is a function assignment,
  39          returns true on success.
  40  
  41      $m->e($expr)
  42          A synonym for $m->evaluate().
  43  
  44      $m->vars()
  45          Returns an associative array of all user-defined variables and values.
  46  
  47      $m->funcs()
  48          Returns an array of all user-defined functions.
  49  
  50  PARAMETERS
  51      $m->suppress_errors
  52          Set to true to turn off warnings when evaluating expressions
  53  
  54      $m->last_error
  55          If the last evaluation failed, contains a string describing the error.
  56          (Useful when suppress_errors is on).
