insert function into database

[harmor]

I want to insert a function into a field in the database but it doesn't seem to work.
I think I have to escape it but I can't find out how.

I already tried

$eval_code = eval("\$test = \"".gettemplate("test")."\";");

$query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO hooks (hook_name, phpcode) VALUES ('index_start', '$eval_code')")or die(mysql_error());

For those who don't understand I would like to have eval("\$test = \"".gettemplate("test")."\";"); to insert into a table.

no point putting eval in there, your going to need to use that when you pull it back out. assuming thats what your trying to do. eval is one of those functions you've gotta be real carefull with, generally, if you need to use eval, your probably doing something the wrong way.

anyway, your $eval_code varable would need to look like this.

$eval_code = "$test = gettemplate(\"test\");";

ps: you might want to ditch that sig, its very confusing.

I'll remove my sig

I am using the plugin system in my own script (the one like vbulletin has).
what it does is gets data from a field and outputs it into a "hook"

($hook = fetch_hook('index_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Now the eval function I want to put into the database will be dynamically displayed at that hook.

It works if I put the value into the table through phpmyadmin.
