[corrupshun]

How can i store all of this in varible $gamecode

(idk how to put php code in variables)

$nothing = "";
$list = range(1,2);
if(!isset($_GET['gameid'])) {
include("inc/defaultgame.php");
}
elseif($_GET['gameid'] == $nothing){
include("inc/defaultgame.php");
}
elseif(in_array($_GET['gameid'], $list) === false) {
echo('Invalid GameID');
}
else {
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("Corrupshun", $con);
$query = mysql_query("SELECT Title, Path FROM Games WHERE id = $_GET[gameid]");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$gamepath = $row['Path'];
$gametitle = $row['Title'];
}
}

This is probably a really dumb question

[mikesta707]

if its in a file you can use something like

$code = file_get_contents("path/to/file");

 

you could also just surround it with quotes. Make sure to escape any quotes inside the code

[corrupshun]

what do you mean by escape any quotes?

[mikesta707]

what ever type of quote you surround any string with (" or ') you need to escape any occurrences of that character inside the string with the escape character (\) for example this is good

$string = "he said \"hey\" to me!";
//more code

bad

$string = 'my name is o'neil';
//more code

 

notice the difference in syntax highlighting.
