 * Evaluates a string of PHP code.

 * surrounded by <?php ?> tags; in other words, we evaluate the code as if it
 * were a stand-alone PHP file.
 *
 * Using this wrapper also ensures that the PHP code which is evaluated can not
 * overwrite any variables in the calling code, unlike a regular eval() call.
 *
 * This function is also used as an implementation of
 * hook_filter_FILTER_process().
 *
 * @param $code
 *   The code to evaluate.
 *
 * @return
 *   A string containing the printed output of the code, followed by the
 *   returned output of the code.
