Ok, here is the code I am using to eval:

eval ("\$line[2] = '$line[2]';");

$line[2] is a database entry which reads:

<?php
echo "test tag";

?>

However, the HTML produced reads:

<?php
echo "test tag";

?>

Basically, it didn't eval(); anything. Anyone know why?

Thanks

why not: eval ("$line[2]"); instead?

because I'm not printing line[2]

I realize that, but this code:

<?
$line[2] = " phpinfo(); ";
eval ("$line[2]");
?>

runs the phpinfo() function... your echo statement should work as well (hte only obvious difference is I dont have <?php or ?> in mine)... (i ran this fine (and other more completex ones in production) just fine...
