Description:
------------
Hi.
Trying to throw exception from __autoload() by evaluating code (eval()).

In earlier version of php5 that would give me exception that i need. Now it gives me fatal ignoring eval statement. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
function __autoload_failed() {
    eval(
        'if (!class_exists("ClassNotFoundException", false)) { '
        .'final class ClassNotFoundException extends Exception {/*_*/} }'
        .'throw new ClassNotFoundException("'.$classname.': '.$message.'");'
    );
}

function __autoload($className) {
    // insert your logic here
    __autoload_failed($className, 'not found'); // in any place, actually
}

Expected result:
----------------
ClassNotFoundException thrown

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error

class definition is:
__autoload_failed($className, $message)

Also forgot to mention, that fatal error is - "class 'someClass' not found in ... "

The problem is not eval, it's about exceptions that cannot be thrown from autoload since the fatal occurs "first".

It works fine in 5_3, though.

What is the PHP5 version that threw the exception?
