running php functions from strings...

[iceydee]

it may sound weird, but that's just because I'm not very good at explaining it.

what I want to do is - I want to be able to run php-functions that's stored in a string. ie. I have a string stored in a database, and I want to retrieve the string and run what's in there. Is this possible, and if so, how do I go about?

I think the eval() function is what you're after.
