I am trying to figure out a way to dynamically create some lines of PHP code
and then have it executed.  This is because I want a page to display
different columns in a table depending on whatever link is clicked.  There
are hundreds of different combinations of column headings so I don't want to
make a different PHP page that is formated for each different combination.
The column headings are stored in a database.

So far what I have come up with is to have a starting page, that takes the
value of the link that is clicked, it queries the database for that value
and then does a while statement to make all the <TD>'s for the different
columns.  Each <TD> is populated with a different variable, one for each
column header.  Each iteration I append to a variable to hold all of these
<TD>'s.  Then I write the contents of that variable to a temporary include
file and call the page that will display the table.  That table then
includes those <TD>'s from the include file I wrote them to and executes the
PHP that runs another query on the database and fills in the variables in
those <TD>'s.

This seems like a lot of work.  Does what I am trying to do make sense to
anyone?  Does anyone have any idea how to do this an easier way?

Thanks
Jonathan Duncan
