Notes​

warning

CAUTION: This shortcode uses the PHP eval() language construct / function. The eval() language construct is very dangerous because it allows execution of arbitrary PHP code. Its use is discouraged. If you have carefully verified that there is no other option than to use this construct, pay special attention not to pass any user provided data into it without properly validating it beforehand.

This shortcode runs PHP code using PHP's "eval()" function. As such, variable scope is affected.
