I want to have a phpbased site system, and with it I want everything to basically be part of a database. I can't seem to figure out how to export <?php ?> stuffs to well.. PHP. it goes as a comment in browser-side.

Anyone care to help me out?

whats the extension for the file where you have php? it must be .php, not .html.php, just .php

I have it .php... It's just I have a plan to store the info in a database, and it won't let me echo php out of it.

make sure your host allows php and it is turned on

http://php.net/manua...asic-syntax.php
http://php.net/manua...mysql-query.php

From what i understand, those links may help untill you give us an example of your problem.

Ugh!!!!!!!!
I know php!!!!

Okay.. i'm beginning to think nobody knows my problem...

I have a script in my MYSQL DATABASE and when i ECHO The script it appears as a comment on my page, instead of ACTUAL PHP...

I highlighted the important parts.

It has something to do with explode() or something.

Can anyone suggest something now that you might get it?

Ok, question. By comment, do you mean that in the html source, it still has the PHP tags, or html comment tags, or does it just echo out plain text?

Either way, would the eval() function help you any?

p.s. Whether or not you know php, the way you worded things made it sound like those links would really help And yet again, if the above function doesn't work, a copy/paste example would REALLY help. (i.e. the source php, and end html source).

He's trying to store code in a database, he wants to echo out scripts form a database

[MillerTime]

if i what i think your thinking is right..i must tell you that you cannot echo out php scripts.. They will just turned over into php..

you just need to either post your code or atleast explain a little more

Ok... possibly try the highlight_string() function?

[HaloprO]

You guys are funny, here do this

<?php
$php_code = '<?php echo "example php code, you can even assign this variable a value of soemthing from a database"; ?>';
echo eval('?>'.$php_code);
?>

Replace the value of the $php_code variable with whatever you want
