RE: [PHP] Making php execute php

It's failing becuase $abc is not valid PHP code, but is HTML. to get eval to work correctly, only pass it valid PHP code. This will print "Hello World"; $abc = ' print "$Message"; '; $Message="Hello World" ; eval ($abc) ; If you want to output HTML, enclose it within a print "" statement, or something similar. > -----Original Message----- > From: Gord Gray [mailto:gord@icu.on.ca] > Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 10:32 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Making php execute php > > > I would like to store a mix of php and html in a database and then return > the results.
