I have a large Math equation in a string. How can I get PHP to calculate it?

eg.: The string is something like this:

45+32-5/8*55

How? Thanks!

well lets see here...

<?
echo 45+32-5/8*55;
?>

but i have the string in a variable. and if i just go

echo $string;

it would echo it without calculating it...

Other then some huge parsing class, the easiest thing i can think to do would be to use eval().

<?
eval('echo '.$string.';');
?>
