Is a way to execute php code which is stored in mysql database?

[Freid001]

Hi!

 

I was wondering if there is a way to execute php code which is stored in mysql database using php.

 

At the minute I am using a echo to try and run php code stored in a mysql database but this just displays the code and does not run the php code.

 

Thanks for any help!

Try something like this:

 

 

$string = $fetch['code']; // contains:    echo "String";

eval($string);

You could use eval(), but that is generally frowned upon and there is probably a better way to do what you want.

 

Why, may I ask, do you want to do this?

I am creating a PHP textbased RPG. For the RPG I am creating missions which will be played by users. Each of the mission details and data will be stored in a MYSQL database. My problem is that each mission contains separate parts to it and will thus require different php code to run. I could hard code the data into the PHP code but that would take ages and would be hard to run and edit.

Why would it be any easier or faster to save it to a database verses save it to a file? It seems that a database connection, selecting the row, and eval()'ing it is a lot more work than simply including a file.

I am storing the data in MYSQL because it needs to cross reference data with other tables in the data base.
