"xif" helper, input datas within expression not interpreted

[gwenael74]

The PHP Code:

// The Template:
<p>
    {{#xif " name == 'Sam' && age === '12' " }}
        BOOM
    {{else}}
        BAMM
    {{/xif}}
</p>

// Helpers:
'helpers' => Array(
    .....
    .....
    'xif' => function ($expression, $options) {
        // Here, "$expression" value is:
        // name == 'Sam' && age === '12'
        // => the param "$expression" is not interpreted :-/

        if (eval($expression)) { // => Unfortunately, this line will generate an error :-(
            return $options['fn']();
        } else {
            return $options['inverse']();
        }
    }
)

// My flags
'flags' => LightnCandy::FLAG_ERROR_EXCEPTION | LightnCandy::FLAG_ELSE | LightnCandy::FLAG_HBESCAPE | LightnCandy::FLAG_JS | LightnCandy::FLAG_ERROR_LOG | LightnCandy::FLAG_ADVARNAME | LightnCandy::FLAG_HANDLEBARSJS | LightnCandy::FLAG_HANDLEBARSJS_FULL,

// Input Data:
$data = array(
  'name' => 'Sam',
  'age' => '12'
);

The Issue:

Hello, I have a question. I tried all this afternoon to recreate this javascript helper "xif": https://gist.github.com/akhoury/9118682 (which work fine on my client side)

Howerver In PHP side, I didn't handle to make it work (my other helpers are working fine, only this one in which I've got difficulties).

How to create such helper which could work with any expression? (I am on the master branch, updated yesterday)

Thanks you for your help Gwen

Sorry for the long time waiting.

Your question is about PHP syntax. the code name == 'Sam' && age === '12' is only valid in JavaScript but not in PHP, a quick refine should be something like this: $name == 'Sam' && $age === '12' . Then you should encounter another problem what these variables ($name and $age) are not presented in local , I think you need to redesign the xif helper to make it work for both PHP and JS.
