Comment:

 Thanks for the patch, @ayeshrajans.

 As you noted, `eval()` is no better than `create_function()`, although it
 does get rid of the deprecated notice that's shown in PHP 7.2.

 @rmccue has been working on a comprehensive solution for this for a while,
 which avoids using `create_function()` or `eval()`. I'll ask him to upload
 his patch here along with all the information, research, and testing that
 he's done.
