Question

I have blocks of HTML code in a MySQL database and my framework needs to print these within a PHP template which will be outputted to the browser. To do so I make this call:

</tr>
    <!-- Section 3 -->
    <?php echo SIN_SiteView::get('section3') ?>
<tr>

Which gets the code either from the APC or MySQL, now the code it obtains looks like this:

<td height="280" colspan="2" bgcolor="#00abd2">
<a href="#">
    <img src="<?php echo SIN_Utilities::l("image", "home_flash.png")?>" width="710" height="280" border="0" />
</a>

As you can see I need to run all images through a method known as “l” which I use to easily change images paths. Now the issue is if I echo that block of code it will simply be echoed as a string and not work.

I tried surrounding the php with ‘. [code] .’ and removing the php but that also did not work. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could properly echo this to the page.

Thanks.

UPDATE: I think I need to be using the eval() command thanks to some of the comments, I simply do not understand how to implement it in my situation. Any simple examples would be greatly appreciated, for example how do I change this line:

<?php echo SIN_SiteView::get('section3') ?>

To echo the entire block featured above, thanks again.

I think you want eval rather than echo. See this slightly different question.

My solution would be to eval '?>'.$myhtml.'<?php'.
