Hey guys - I've been mulling this one over for a few days now - and still
haven't come up with anything intelligent to sort it...

I'm building a site where you can edit the content on the fly - basically
allowing you to write code and add pages without touching a telnet or ftp
session etc etc etc...

So I end up with chunks of text stored in my database - which I then pull
out and (currently) do the following with:

<pull text out of database to $content>
echo $content;

This works real nice when the text is plain HTML - makes setting up a site
nice-n-easy.. however, I want certain people to be able to put php code in
their snippets using <? and ?> as you would when editing a normal php
file.

This is where my $echo falls over - none of the php code is executed (as
you would expect). What I really want to be able to do is:

include($content);

I haven't been able to find any ways to do this though - eval() looks for
just php code and include() and require() look for filenames. I really
don't want to store my snippets as files - but I guess I may have to if I
can't find a way to pull em out of a database and include() em.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

Simon
