Re: Running PHP Function from ECHO'd MySQL Data

Hi, I've come upon a stumbling block and I'd like to resolve it the best way. I could probably think of a few work-arounds, but I'd rather not hack it if there's an elegant solution... I have a function, let's call it "do_stuff" that I include() in my head.inc file, which every page on the site include()s. So the function is available. Now, I have a bunch of articles in a MySQL database. The article "body" (a blob) has minimal HTML, like <p> and </b> and so on. It also contains stuff like this: <?=do_stuff("item1.jpg", "something else here");?> Now... How can I get PHP to process these commands? Obviously echo is not the way to go, since that's post-processing... What's the most elegant solution? Please email me off-list as I get the digest and won't see any answers for quite some time. Feel free as always to CC the list of course. P.S. I looked around quickly and didn't find the solution, so yes, this email to the list is pretty early in my "research" stage. Thanks! -- Kindest regards, Erik J. Barzeski Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
