PHP in database. Is it Possible?

[petesmc]

Hi,

Is it possible to store PHP code in the database then have it processed after it comes out.

Say I wanted to store:

echo ($name=="Pete") ? "Yes" : "No";

Is it possible to get this to display yes or no on the page, considering that that above code would be stored in the database.

Thanks
Pete

Why not store the name in the database and then execute the code on it when you get it out?

Well if for some reason you need to store it in the database and you need to use it, use:

<?
$data = stripslashes($data);
$name = "Pete";
eval("$data");
?>

Where $data is the field from the database that contains the code:

echo ($name=="Pete") ? "Yes" : "No"; 

Remember to addslashes() to that before trying to store it in the db.

Thanks allot, that solves allot of problems I thought I'd never over come.

Another question though. Would the $data have to include <?php and ?>

No, it wouldn't.
