This works (tested): <?php $code = '<html><head><title>ASS - A Simple Sample</title></head>' . "\n" . '<body>' . "\n" . '<h1>Welcome to ASS</h1>' . "\n" . '<?php ' . "\n" . '$i = 4711; ' . "\n" . '?>' . "\n" . 'The code from PHP is <b>' . '<?=$i?>' . '</b>' . "\n" . '</body></html>'; eval('?>' . $code . '<?php '); ?> Note that I escape from PHP before and restart PHP after "$code" to emulate the correct include behavior. Assuming your code is in an external file, you could (untested): $fp = fopen('codefile.inc', 'r'); if ($fp) { $code = fread($fp, filesize('codefile.inc')); fclose($fp); eval('?>' . $code . '<?php'); } -- >O Ernest E. Vogelsinger (\) ICQ #13394035 ^ http://www.vogelsinger.at/
