Eval?

[Anon]

I have a file with something like this in it:

<font size="1">Hey!</font>
<? echo "test"; ?>
<font size="2">Hey!</font>

I have the contents put into a variable. Then I would like to have the contents printed out, but with the PHP code executed. So it would print out the two Hey!'s and test. I have tried with the eval function, but it doesn't seem to want to work. Can someone tell me how to get the contents of a file that has PHP code in it and print it out with the PHP code executing. Thanks.

$var = file;
eval("\$var = \"$var\";");
print $var;

the $var variable should be the file that you read in. if you have quotes (") in the file be sure to addslashes before doing the eval and a stripslashes after.

Doesn't seem to work for me. This is what I have (not exactly, but close enough of what I have).

$filename = "/path/to/html_page.html";

$fl = fopen($filename, "r");
$main_text = fread($fl, filesize($filename));
fclose($fl);

$main_text = addslashes($main_text);
eval("\$main_text = \"$main_text\";");
$main_text = stripslashes($main_text);

I should then be able to print it out with any of the <? echo "hey"; ?> inside being executed?

Is this even possible?
