(shrug) so far as the database is concerned, it *is* just text. If you want returned code evaluated, you will have to explicitly evaluate it. Possible approaches: 1. Search for php code in your content: split the string appropriately and evaluate as needed. I would avoid this because it's a lot of extra work, and because it's quite possible to write 'interleaved' PHP code that requires several blocks working together; evaluating a single block at a time will just get you errors. 2. Evaluate all your content. You would have to be very careful about letting people contribute content, and it might be a bit slower; but it's very very simple. 3. Have markers in your content, referring to PHP code from another table. Would be a bit slower (have to do multiple queries to retrieve code as needed), but more secure - people can safely contribute to the HTML content table, you can let them reference standardized PHP fragments. 4. Half-way between #2 and #3: add a flag field to your database table, if the flag is set the content must be evaluated, otherwise it is plain HTML and can just be echoed. People can contribute content, but the flag stays off until you double-check any PHP code for safety. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
