To execute any code contained within a string you need to eval() it.
Assuming you have this piece of code
$uname = 'Leo';
$text = "Hello there, ";
eval("?>$text2. If I instead include a file would it have access tio the local

Yes. See http://www.vogelsinger.at/test.php for an example (will be
available for 1-2 days).

Sorry about that. A simple search in the manual would have answered
the first question But I'm still not sure about the second...
Thx,

[PHP] Executing PHP code in a database
Hi,
I have a table that stores all the "boxes" that my website will
display on the sides. So far the content is simply stored in a text
field and then substituted for the box body. However this way I
can't have any php code in the boxes... What I thought I could do is
have another field that will contain any php code that I want for
that box and then execute that after I read it from the database.
So I have two questions basically.
1. How would I go about executing php code in a string?
Say I have $code = "md5('blah');" how would I execute the code in
the string?
2. If I instead include a file would it have access tio the local
variables?
Ie. In a class I have this:
$strContent = "blah, this is the content I got from the database";
include("includefilefromdatabase.php");
Is the $strContent variable then available from the include file?
Thanks,
Leo
