[SOLVED] Code not being executed in pages retrieved from DB

[fatfrank]

I suspect this is a real noob question, but here goes.

 

I've uploaded files holding the textual content of my web pages to a mysql db and am retreiving them via a query, passing the data to a variable and printing that variable to the page.

 

This works fine until I want to execute some code included in the iploaded file (the code doesn't exsits as such on the file on the server, right?).

 

Do I need to create a tmp file of the text and then include it on the main page to get the code to execute or is there another method?

 

Sorry if it's a little vague.

Do you mean server side code(php)? If so, you would have to "include" it instead of just printing it, which would mean it would have to have a location. It wouldn't be hard to do it temproarily, though:

file_put_contents("tmp.php", $string");
include "tmp.php";
unlink("tmp.php");

 

Good Luck!

Cool, that's what I thought.

 

Will try that and see how it goes.

Yup, that works, thanks for the response.

 

Now, onto the next problem...
