RE: [PHP] Storing Script information in MySQL

sorry - it's eval() -----Original Message----- From: David Redmond [mailto:davidr@webcentral.com] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:09 PM To: 'Martin Towell'; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Storing Script information in MySQL I couldn't seem to get this working. Contents of the "Text" field in the DB are; -- snip -- <? for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) { echo $i ."<br>\n"; } ?> -- snip -- contents of the field are being stored in a variable, $strTest, running below produces nothing; -- snip -- <? exec($strTest); ?> -- snip -- I've removed the PHP delimetrs within the field and changed the code to something more basic (echo "Test";) and nothing is being produced. Any further ideas?

When the contents are retrieved, can they be executed by the PHP parser as if it were part of the actual PHP file? ie: have the following stored in the DB; -- snip -- <? echo "This is a test.<br>\n"; ?> -- snip -- Then run a PHP script to retrieve that from the DB and have below outputted to the browser? -- snip -- This is a test.<br> -- snip -- Cheers -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
