Executing PHP stored in DB with HTML

[ppugh]

I am trying to store HTML/PHP templates in MYSQL. Retrieving them is fine but the PHP embedded in them just prints to HTML and does not execute.

I believe the Eval function is the right way to get PHP to recognize the embedded PHP. But I can't seem to make it work.

Here are a few details.

I addslashes to the content before its stored in the database.

I retrieve it with a query. Running the query through Eval returns errors.

I guess I need help on when how to run the query results through eval--- should it be the query or the individual values returned using the MSQL_fetch_array.

Thanks

Oh man...
No way that is going to work.
eval execs 1 line of code, not a file with line after line.

Unfortunately, your strategy if flawed here.
I'm not sure why you're going about things they way you are with wanting php/html pages in the db. But, what I would recomend is that you instead, create the file on the filesystem and store the link in the database, and then link to the page.

If you are trying to get pieces of code to insert themselves, you can try fast templates or any other such template engine, or do what I did, and make your own.

Either way, what you have right now isn't gonna fly.
