Question

I want to be able to store PHP code in an SQL Database and display that whenever it is called. I don’t want to use include and make loads of files. I want to be able to just put them all in SQL and call them when I want. How can I do this?

I have

$GETPAGE = "SELECT PA_CONTENT from pages where PA_NAME = '$page'";
$GETPAGE2= mysql_query($GETPAGE);
$GETPAGE3= mysql_fetch_array($GETPAGE2);
echo $GETPAGE3[PA_CONTENT];

but it echo’s it out visible. Should I replace echo for something else?

Thanks

You can use eval() to execute code that’s in strings. Just make sure that you absolutely trust the code that’s being run – it will run any PHP code it’s given, so it could do malicious things if it’s so instructed.
