Topic awaiting preservation: PHP or ASP in database field (Page 1 of 1)

Is there a way to pull asp or php from a db then run it? for example if I have a field containing the copy for a page, and I want to have php in that field, so it runs with the rest of the php on the page that retreived that db field. know what I mean?

It's dangerous and should be used very carefully (sloppy code could allow users to insert there own code)

but almost all laguages have some form of an eval function which executes the arguments.

Yeah, make sure that those entering code could not put one of those great "unlink -rf /*" type pieces of code into your database. That could cause quite a problem.

thanks, I'll play around with that later...

I'm the only one who'll be entering data, so I should be alright... I suppose I could use a bbcode type syntax and only eval certain things..
