PHP Script from MySQL Database or TXT file !

[Fahid]

1. Can we obtain some text (PHP Script) from a database and execute it?

If yes then how?

 

Example-1 - Fetching Data/PHP Script from data base

<?php

$query = "SELECT `code`, `codename` FROM `tablename` WHERE `codename`='error_from' LIMIT 1;";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0){
  while($output = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
	    $script = $output['code'];
  }
}
// now $script has some PHP script in it,
// can we some how execute this script, if yes then how?
?>

 

2. Can we obtain some text (PHP Script) from a text file with fopen/fread and execute it?

If yes then how?

 

Example-2 - PHP Code from text file

 

<?php

$file = "texts/report-error-form.txt";
$fp = fopen($file,"r");
$script = fread($fp, 4096);
fclose($fp);

// now $script has some PHP script in it,
// can we some how execute this script, if yes then how?
?>

you can write the code to a file and then

 

include('/path/to/filename');

I want to get the contents of the file/db_data into a variable, because it has both HTML and some PHP script.

I want to save this data into variable so that I can print the data on a specific spot in my page.

 

If I use your method, PHP Script will be executed, but HTML will be sent to browser right away, which I don't want.

 

here are contents of PHP script I want to add through TEXT FILE or MYSQL DATABASE

 

    <div id="reporterrorform">
      <form method="post" action="report-error.php">
