Dynamic functions

[dingus]

ok this is going to stand as a very different question but i would like to load "dynamic" functions where by the functions will be stored in a database

 

i would like to be able to call the php code form the database then exicute it to define a function dose anyone have any idea how i would do that?

Why do you want to do this?

[dingus]

unforchinatly the NDA on the project forbids me from answering that question how ever i can go so fare as to say that

 

the functions will be both user inputed and automatically generated and because they need to be referenced independently i eather need to write each to there own file or load to a database and call from there

www.php.net/eval

[p2grace]

Fair enough, as doni49 suggested, the eval function with interpret a string as a php script.  It should do the trick for you.

[dingus]

well that is helpful i just need to know will eval allow me to declare functions?

 

for example

 

$function = 'function cat($str){

return "the cat ".$str";

}

eval($function);

 

?
