MySQL for storing PHP code

Hi, Would it be possible to store PHP code in a MySQL table, then via a web page, connect to the DB, recover the code that corresponds to a certain id number, then include that code for execution? For example (quick, dirty, and untested!): $sql = "SELECT phpcode FROM phpstorage WHERE codeid = 1"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $_php_code = mysql_result($result, 0,"phpcode"); echo $_php_code; Will the echo (or print() ) just output code that can be read by the reader of the page, or will it generate output that will be executed? If the echo/print does not work, is there another way to do this? Cheers, Daniel
