If eval()'ed code contains a parse error, the rest of the php script will continue. If it contains a call to an undefined function, it will die, and it won't execute the rest of the script.
That's very inconsistant behaviour!!!!

<?php
eval("foo();");
echo "bar"; // this will never be executed!!!
?>

Yes, this is indeed the case and this is intended behaviour. For now there is no a good way to recover from undefined funxtion error inside running script, so indeed it causes a fatal error. If you have good reasons why it should be changed, etc., you could submit feature request and/or contact developers on php-dev@lists.php.net.
