Is this possible?

Is it possible to store PHP code inside a mySQL database, and then retrieve this code and have it execute at the same time?

I've tried this just now and the PHP code does not execute its just written as text. Is there any command that could maybe force php to process this text pulled from the database as code?

Thanks,

Jesse

It sounds like you want to use this function:

http://ca.php.net/eval

Security note: If you do not control who can update this database, you could have a big security hole on your hands. Someone could put some bad PHP code in there and cause a whole lot of problems.

Hope that helps.

cool thanks, Ill give this a shot.

Its to pull info out of the database that I personally enter. So there shouldn't be a security issue there.
