which one would run faster?

Hello.

About these eval, which one would run faster ?

PHP Code:

function wrapper($content) {
 ob_start();
 $content = str_replace('<'.'?php','<'.'?',$content);
 eval('?'.'>'.trim($content).'<'.'?');
 $content = ob_get_contents();
 ob_end_clean();
 return $content;
}

$content = file_get_contents('somefile.php');
$content = wrapper($content);
echo $content; 


or

PHP Code:

$content = file_get_contents('somefile.php');
$content = "?>" . $content;
eval($content); 


I get confuse which one should I take in correct way.

This is the correct way (if you are trying to get the output of a PHP file):

PHP Code:

ob_start();
include('somefile.php');
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

echo $output; 


Eval() is barely ever useful, and in most cases a security risk.
