does anyone know if it is possible to pass code to the php executable. for example. php <?php echo "hello world"; ?> I have tried but it didn't work maybe I'm just doing it wrong. If it doesn't is there a way of running a script that is in memory. say I use fopen to read a php script into a variable how then can I run this script? eval didn't seem to work right. thanks in advance kill-9 www.kill-9.dk
