[PHP] Executebale code from a databse

[Peter]

Hi.
I'm changing my website to one based on My-SQL which will help with
organization and searching etc. Hopefully, the code for all the pages will
be stored in the database too.
However, I cannot get PHP to parse / execute the code stored in the
database. The script

$query = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM pages, $link);
$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);
print $result['4'];

gets the content of the page (column 4 of the database) but displays

include(common/counter.php); include(common/navbar.php);

to the screen instead of opening and including these two files in the
output.

Is there something I need to do to the result to make it executable? Might I
need a \n between the two lines of code?

I'm using Win 98, Apache 1.3.19, PHP 4.2.0 and MySQL but I'm not sure which
version! (fairly recent though)

Use eval ... although beware of the serious security implications.
