Hi all, I have a, I think fairly easy, question, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a function which i call with PHP's function eval. I'm expecting an, selfbuilt, ArrayList to get as a result. But instead when I use gettype I see the result is NULL. Even though I'm using return in the eval-ed function. As far as I'm a...
