Well, you have presented an example of how eval can be dangerous. The accepted answer says that eval is dangerous, and this is documented widely, along with the warning that you shouldn’t, for example, allow a (possibly hostile or malicious) user specify a string that will be used in an eval statement without checking it thoroughly. The accepted answer also shows declare, so you don’t seem to be adding a lot of new information.

This answer helped me more than the accepted answer because of its simplicity.
