[Resolved] Executing PHP from Database

[Sharif]

Ok,

I asked this stuff two times before, no one seemed to understand me... I'll try again.

Database field contains the following stuff:

HEADLINE
TEXT TEXT
<?php
echo '<a href="printcommunity.php?pageid=' . urlencode($_GET['pageid']) . '" class="bodynav">Printer Friendly Version</a>';
?>

I use this code to output that field:

<?php 
	if (isset($pageid) && is_numeric($pageid))
	{
    		$display_community_page = mysql_query("SELECT html FROM community WHERE pageid=$pageid")
          or die ("MySQL Error");
     		if (mysql_num_rows($display_community_page) > 0)
     		{ 
        			while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($display_community_page)) 
        			{ 
        			    $community_page = $row["html"]; 
           		    echo ("<!-- startprint -->$community_page<!-- stopprint -->"); 
        			}
    			} 
	}
	else
	{
    		echo("<P CLASS=\"bodytext\" ALIGN=\"CENTER\">OOX Error: \"The requested page does not exist.\"<BR>
		      Please <A HREF=\"javascript:history.go(-1);\" CLASS=\"bodynav\">click here</A>
			 to go back.</P>");
	}
?>

What it outputs is only this:
HEADLINE
TEXT TEXT

It does not output the PHP code in the database... why?

... I think we already went through this...

<?php

$your_php_and_html_code = "  my html <?php print (\"my php\"); ?> the rest of my html ";


eval (" ?> " . $your_php_and_html_code . " <?php ");

?>

<?php 
    if (isset($pageid) && is_numeric($pageid))
    {
            $display_community_page = mysql_query("SELECT html FROM community WHERE pageid=$pageid")
          or die ("MySQL Error");
             if (mysql_num_rows($display_community_page) > 0)
             { 
                    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($display_community_page)) 
                    { 
                        $community_page = $row["html"]; 
                       echo ("<!-- startprint -->");


eval (" ?> " . $community_page . " <?php ");

echo ("<!-- stopprint -->"); 
                    }
                } 
    }
    else
    {
            echo("<P CLASS=\"bodytext\" ALIGN=\"CENTER\">OOX Error: \"The requested page does not exist.\"<BR>
              Please <A HREF=\"java script:history.go(-1);\" CLASS=\"bodynav\">click here</A>
             to go back.</P>");
    }
?>

If it doesn't work, you need to post the output of the script, ie the source code, NOT a copy paste of the page in Internet Explorer.

Hey that worked perfectly with this:

echo ("<!-- startprint -->"); 
eval (" ?> " . $legal . " <?php ");
echo ("<!-- stopprint -->");

Before I was doing this:

eval (" ?> " . $legal . " <?php ");
echo ("<!-- startprint -->$legal<!--stopprint -->");

Thanks for the help.
