## Polyfill of `create_function()`
Uncover the grave of [`create_function()`] because some old mods may still use it.
### Manual Installation
This is for if you lose access to the package manager due to an error from a missing [`create_function()`]:
- Copy `Subs-CreateFunction.php` into your sources directory
- Copy `install.php` to the board directory and execute it (remember to delete it afterwards!)
- Equivalent to running the following PHP code
```php
add_integration_function(
'integrate_pre_include',
'$sourcedir/Subs-CreateFunction.php
');
```
### But I'm not on PHP 8 yet!
Not to worry. It does nothing if the function is already defined. In fact, here, this is the code.
```php
if (!function_exists('create_function'))
{
function create_function($args, $code)
{
return eval(sprintf('return function(%s) {%s};', $args, $code));
}
}
```
### Public domain
Do whatever you want with this code. Feed it to alligators for all I care.

I successfully fed a group of aligators with your code. They weren't too happy about it.
Good stuff ;)
Kind of a shame this wasn't included in 2.0.19.
thank you for this
starting a new project and all of a sudden my package manager was broken and throwing out some error about create_function()
I remembered this mod so downgraded my php, installed this mod, put php back to 8 and all was right again
