[PHP] Executing the value of a variable

2002-11-02 Thread Jackson Miller 
I would like to store some code in a database and load/execute that code
based on a query.

Is it possible to execute the value of a variable in a php script?

I am aware of several other ways to accomplish the same task, but I just
want to see if there is in fact a performance hit from storing code in a
database.

I tried something along the line of:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
{
   function loaded_module()
   {$row[moduleCode];}
}

loaded_module();

but that doesn't seem to work.

Any thoughts?

Make sure you read the entire page and are aware of the security
concerns of using this function.

You want to look at eval();
