Executing PHP code inside a template? Help!!

[fun-gi]

I think I just took a step beyond my abilities.

I'm storing html templates in a database.

When I retrieve the page, it contains some values which I replace with an ereg_replace statement.

But what if I want to store PHP code as well? If I retrieve the PHP code from the database, and PRINT or ECHO it, it doesn't go through the PHP interpreter.

So how can I have PHP code stored in a database, merge it into the final document and still have it executed?

Some pointers would be much appreciated - I can read and I can learn, but I can't think of an angle here. Any hint or pointer to a resouce appreciated!

Many thanks
Peter

Sigh.....

As usual, as soon as I decide to ask, I find the answer shortly thereafter.

eval(), for those who also wonder, is the equivalent of include() or require(), but it acts on a string instead of a file.

Cool - I'm back on the job!
