Re: [PHP] Storing script in database??
I'm pretty sure you can use eval() on a string, but tread with caution, and try to look around for security concerns. I certainly wouldn't eval() anything supplied by a user... no way.

Re: [PHP] Storing script in database??
I agree with Justin! Probably your best solution is to write your own mini script and write an interpreter for it!
