PHP Variables Stored in SQL

I am trying to store a standardized text into a database. I want it to store some of my php session variables so when I call it , it will display the current value.

I am storing text that looks like this:

'<?php echo $firstName; ?> Wants to send you a gift ....'

I tried storing it a couple other ways thinking I had my tags in the wrong place. Stored like that I dont even see the code, I only see 'Wants to send you a gift ...'. So I am thinking its recognizing it but dont know why it isnt printing.

I am putting it my document like this:

echo $row_gift['Description'];

I am thinking I should be trying it in an include and it might work better. So I thought echoing it in another document and trying to include it would work, but didnt.

Help please...

Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

$firstname . ' wants to send you a gift';
You're better off, however, storing only $firstname, and then assembling the message when you output it.
