PHP doesn't now that it's PHP - it just treats it as text. You can tell it to run it as PHP explicitly using: eval($contents); Eval is usually worth avoiding, but it will do what you ask. Your display function could be improved: function display() { $file = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); require 'connect.inc'; $sql = "SELECT HTML FROM $db.$table_editor WHERE Filename LIKE '".addslashes($file)."' LIMIT 1;"; if ($myquery = mysql_query($sql) and mysql_num_rows($myquery) > 0) {

       $mydata = mysql_fetch_array($myquery, MYSQL_NUM);
       return $mydata[0];

} return false; } Then call it: if ($contents = display())

    eval($contents);

This should be faster and safer than your original code. Marcus -- Marcus Bointon Synchromedia Limited: Putting you in the picture marcus@synchromedia.co.uk | http://www.synchromedia.co.uk
