to echo or not to echo that is the question

[sonicfusion]

right...
i want to store php code in my database so here is the question:

1. If i echo the it straight from the database will it work as it would if it was a normal php file? or will it just print it as if it was plain text?
2. If echo will not work is there another way round this?

thanks to all in advance
Simon

p.s. i hope this makes sence

Hi,

I wonder why your want to store PHP scripts in your DB but... Just use the PHP eval function to evaluate it:

INSERT INTO Table (PHPScript) VALUES ("<?php echo ('Hello world!'); ?>")

Then to get the PHPScript value and evaluate it:

eval ($row ["PHPScript"]);

It should display "Hello world!".

And voilà 🙂...
But It still wonder if your question makes sense :p
