fwrite php/mysql problem

[JustGotAQuestio]

Alright, so this problem has to do with the fwrite function as well as other f functions related to it.

There is a mysql database with 3 rows: template_header, content, template footer.

Stored in template_header is just that, all of the header code to a php page.
Stored in content is the body of the page.
Stored in template_footer is the footer code to a php page.

I have an fwrite script that creates a page which has the php select code to grab all 3 different parts of the page. This way i can dynamically change the content/header/footer.

BUT! There is one huge problem.

When the php select code selects everything off of the database, it creates a page which resembles a .html page in that it shows the <?php ?> stuff when you view the source.

Hopefully you understand what i am saying here, it is a bit complicated. Let me know if you need some code to help illustrate my point.

Any ideas?

When you get something (be it php code) from database and echo it, it isn't parsed. Use [man]eval[/man] to run the code you got from the database.
But beware - using eval is risky (if someone gets to your database they would have the possibility to run any code they want).

Thank you. I also realized that i was doing this a very dumb way.

I shouldn't be taking everything from the database. Instead, i should be taking the content and the little things (such as links that i want changed) from the database. I should include("header.php"); for the rest.

Just thought i'd post that in case someone else was trying the same thing.

But thanks again for the correct answer to my original question.
