PHP Code from MYSQL database

[random1]

Hey All,

 

How can someone process the text e.g.

 

<?php echo ("test only"); ?>

 

as php code on a PHP page as a result from a MySQL DB query.

 

I tried echo($databaseresult); but it just prints it as text.

 

Am I missing something REALLY obvious?

Are you trying to actually print the name of the variable and not actually the value it contains?

 

You would do this

 

<?php

echo '$databaseresult';

I am not sure i understand your question ...

But if i am right your asking how to use info from your db

 

Well first you have to connect your self then you can use this if you would like only one info

 

$username = @current(@mysql_fetch_assoc(@mysql_query("SELECT username FROM accounts WHERE id='$id'")));

echo "Your username is $username";

 

or you can do it like this is you wana have more then one info from your row or from multiple rows

 

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE id='$id'") or die (mysql_error());

if (mysql_num_rows($check)) {

while ($member= mysql_fetch_array($check)) {

echo "Your username is $member[username] and your age is $member[age]";

}

}

remove the <?php and ?> from the string and use eval function

eval('some php code here');
