Re: Re: Execute statements from a string???

Abridged version of my story :-) To keep web designers out of the coding business I wrote a little script similar to a template engine but far simpler. How it works: -I read an HTML file into a string -I parse the string and echo until I reach a HTML comment <!- -I then search the comment for a defined "command" such as [query-results] -I then execute some PHP depending on the command -Continue parsing... This works great, but... What if someone wants to include actual PHP code in the HTML file??? Hence my question. Thanks!
