I don't know if anybody is curious or not, but I found my own problem...
I changed the following code:
$cVar = addslashes( $qrNews[$cContentField . "Text"] );
eval( "<? " . $cVar . " ?>" );
to:
$cVar = $qrNews[$cContentField . "Text"];
eval( $cVar );
SO basically I removed the addslashes() (which I thought were necessary
since the code snippet had quotes in them) and the <? and ?> from the eval
funciton call, and it works as expected....
