3.2.3. compileExpression()

mixed compileExpression ( string $expression [, bool $assignment] )

Compiles the specified valid $expression to the PHP code and returns it as a string. If $assignment is true, it allows to use assignment operator = in the compiled expression. Moreover, an array is returned. The first element (index 0) contains the expression, and the second a boolean value, which tells whether an assignment was used in this expression or not.
