Hi,
Following is some dummy HTML file:
I am reading it into a string using file_get_contents($file):HTML Code:<html> .... <?php echo 'HELLO!'; ?> ..... </html>
Now, I use eval() to exec PHP code within $x string.PHP Code:$x = file_get_contents($file);
But, no luck. Output turns out to have php code as originally embedded in HTML file.PHP Code:eval('$x = "$x";');
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have no clue what you're trying to do here? Why would you want to use eval?
As the parser is already reading when you execute eval, you need to stop it - prior to eval'ing the string.
PHP Code:<?php
$sHTML = '
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Hello!</h3>
The current time here is <?php echo date("r", time()); ?>.
</body>
</html>
';
echo eval('?>' . $sHTML);
/*
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Hello!</h3>
The current time here is Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:07:29 +0000.
</body>
</html>
*/
?>

This has a similar functionality
PHP Code:ob_start();
include $file;
$x = ob_get_clean();
