Outputting PHP code from MySQL

[ncjbhd]

Hi All,

I am storing some PHP code in a MySQL table for inclusion on a page. My problem is that, when the page calls the content for the page, it's as if the PHP doesn't exist... nothing happens!

Being a newbie to MySQL, I have no clue why this is (or, more precisely!) isn't happening.

Can someone give me a tip??

Thanks in advance.

Can you give us an example of the code you are using and the query?

PHP code in mysql will not work, unless you need to re-execute in the server

This is very strange, if you want to include any php code or call it, you have to create either functions or classes (Objects), you must save data types only in Mysql Database, e.g if you want to retrieve some text, read about object oriented php. (Database is to store data only not code)

[mikhapop]

if you want to store any code as data you must put it as text and then in the view you can put <?php and ?>

example


in index.php


$query = "SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE anything = anything";
$results = mysql_query($query); ---->will get you the php code you stored as text

while ($text = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
echo "<?php";
echo $text['php'];
echo "?>";
}


the result will be
<?php
some php code here
?>

but as i said it will be represented as text not as code to run
