echo a function()

[cjb]

I have a db of functions that are called on a certain criteria. I am trying to get those from the db to be called in a page. I try to [code]echo $function[/code] but all that happens is it prints the text out instead of calling the function 'function();'.

Is there some other way to echo the text function(); from a db other than using 'echo'?

Did you 'echo $function();' ?

Does create_function help?


[code]$row['code'] = 'return sqrt($a*$a + $b*$b);'; // from database

$foo = create_function('$a, $b', $row['code']);

$x = 3;
$y = 4;
echo $foo($x, $y);[/code]

Barand,

That worked, thanks.
