executing php from a string

[Anon]

Hi all
Scenario: I am connecting to a remote server with XML protocol (the remote scripts are called with join functions)

When receiving info (in XML format) from the remote server, it contains in a tag the html data to be displayed on the frontend. This gets displayed by echoing the string/variable.

I would like to execute php scripts within this html page, but any php is ignored, and only the valid html is displayed. How can I execute this php on my frontend?

Typically, the webpage is returned in xml tags <html_page>...htmldatastring...</html_page> After parsing, the variable $html_page would contain this string. Then I try to echo this string: echo "$html_string"; This is executed, the html is displayed, but the php is ignored.

Any help / comments would be welcomed

Hi All
By saving this data as a file on my server(or writing it to a file), and then imploding this with the filename connected to my URL (Localhost) I can get this script to execute. But if I only implode this file as a file (not including the URL) it does not execute.

So I have one solution. Are there any others? Can I execute the script directly from the datastring?

Thanks
