note 69995 added to function.eval

This edits the little snipet bellow which doesn't work

<?php
// make some variables
$five = 5;
$three = 3;
$lessthan = "<";

// place them into a string
$mystring = "$five.$lessthan.$three"; // DOUBLE
QUOTES

echo $mystring."<br>"; // lets see it before
eval

if (eval("return ".$mystring.";")) //
if(5<3)
   {
   echo "FALSE";
} else {
   echo "TRUE";
}
?>

returns
FALSE
... of course

Notice that $mystring now has double quotes and works 
incidentally this string could also be writen
<?php
$mystring = "$five $lessthan $three";
?>
without the points which also seems to work
