In:
eval("$condition = ($text)? true : false;");

PHP will try to search for the variable "condition" to put in the eval
statement.

Escaping it like:
eval("\$condition = ($text)? true : false;");

will let PHP know it has to treat this part as text, so it will be evalled
as "$condition" and not the value of the (prehaps existing) variable
$condition. If it tries to replace it with the value of the variables
"condition", there is off course no way $condition gets set in this
statement.
