Execute code from mySQL database?

[KempCGDR]

Hi, is it possible to execute php code that is stored in a database? The only way I have come up with so far is to fetch the code, write it to a temporary file and then include that file, but this seems to be a bit clunky to me, I try to never use files when there's another option. So, any ideas?

Try eval().

Thanks, that's what I wanted almost exactly (I was hoping for something that was slightly more like include, as in it treats the code as part of the current page, but you can't have everything).
