Output values inside the array

Question

$stock = [
    "marketplace" => [
       "stocks" => 'if($a = 1) {return 6}'
    ]
];

How to use the code inside the array value ?

return $stock['marketplace']['stocks'];

I plan to get in the method

if($a = 1) {
  return 6
}

Answer 1

If you want to execute the code, you can do:

eval($stock['marketplace']['stocks']);

but as @nice_dev said it is not recommended to use eval
