Running MySQL data as PHP scripts

Anon

Hi!

I have a site with the page contents of the various saved in a mysql db.

My problem is: This data also contains php script, and of course, when fetching to string, these scripts are printed, not executed.

Demo:

I want

<p>Hello &lt?=GetName?>...&lt/p>

to be shown as

<p>Hello Even...&lt/p>

Thanks for your reply!

But: Isn't there a more straightforward way, just like an include or require, only from a db instead of a file?

Or are there any custom scripts/classes that will do this for me, without all the hassle of using eval?

Thanks in advance!

Well, since you have the info sotred ina db, an include is not a great option (i mean, you could include a script on your site that retrieves the data and spits it back out, a la include(http://mysite.com/get_data.php) but that's lkinda hokie. Why is eval() a hassle, seems like an easier solution to me....

Maybe...

IT just seemed to me after reading the php manual for eval that I'd have to change alot of my code to get it to work. What's all that about not allowing ' and "?

Thanx!
