include php from mysql

[marcus1060]

I'm trying to output php from a mysql db, but instead you just see the php coding in the browser.

Help pls

Show us your code. Immediate thoughts:

Have you started with <?php ?

Is the page name xxx.php ?

Have you sent headers?

<?php: yes

xxx.php: yes

headers: no

 

The data is taken from mysql into a variable,

and then echoed:

echo "\n $summary";

 

I'm thinking the echo is the problem...

Try this.

echo $summary ."\n";

That makes sense I'll give it a try.

 

Edit: Nope, doesn't work...

I'm thinking it might actually be some type of security thing I need to disable?

Another xxx.php page displays correctly, yes?

 

Could it be that some of your global options are getting in the way? run PHP() and look at magic_quotes_gpc. I have just run up a test page and it works fine on my set up. magic_quotes ar off in my set up.

 

Also, try dropping the quotes and the \n and just echo the variable.

magic_quotes_gpc:

Had em on didn't work, had em off didn't work.

 

[a href=\"http://noveis.net/?page=php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://noveis.net/?page=php[/a] to see my php()

 

[a href=\"http://noveis.net/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://noveis.net/[/a] and view the source you'll see some php in the top article.

 

removing ."\n": no dice

Could it be some nesting going on? Is your displayed bit of php within a string being echoed. I think this would achieve the result you are getting. You'd need to close the echo with "; before php would look for the next command otherwise it will just assume it is part of the echo.
