Let's say i have this stored in a BLOB or TEXT column on MySQL:

Code: Select all

<html>
     <strong><?php echo("Hello, ") ?></strong>World
</html>
Is there a way to tell PHP to parse the BLOB/TEXT column, so the output looks like:
Hello, World
I mean, is there a way to tell PHP to treat the MySQL column as a file?[/b]

I thought the same thing, but wen you try to eval() that, it gives you an error aout an "unexpected '<' on line 1 ".
eval() as far as i know works with pure php code, and this is html code with some php tags along the way.
Is there a way to tweak eval()? or is there another way to accomplish this?

The user comments on the manual page provide some interesting takes on that problem.
