[SOLVED] Execute php without echoing

[newbtophp]

I have some code, and im using echo to print the code. The problem is it just prints the code.

 

I've looked at alternatives such as print() and highlight_string()

 

But they all print the code and not execute then print.

 

How would i execute/run the code.

 

For example:

 

$string = '<?php print "hey people"; ?>';

echo($string);

 

Would just echo: <?php print "hey people"; ?>

 

When i want it to look like:

 

hey people

eval though 95% of the time there is a way better solution to doing whatever it is you're doing that involves wanting to do that...

<?$string = "hey people";

echo($string);?>

 

is this what are u looking for?!?! if not, be more explicit....

eval just to eval
