Look at "eval". I don't know how well suited it is to being used with large chunks of code, however. You could just dump it to a temporary file and include it, then delete the file afterward. > > One more question, if I were to use a java servlet and have it spit out > php code, would it be possible to have the php code than be parsed by > php instead of once again being spit out to the user? You could either invoke the CGI version of PHP and run it through that and redirect the output appropriately, or make a web server request for the temporary file in which you have just previously stored that data. > > Thanks!
