executing php blocks in a string

[JS]

From the examples I've seen, I don't think eval() works for this, or
if it does, I'm not sure how. Here's the setup. I'm storing web page
content in a database. 95% of the time, all the php takes outside of
the content area, setting up menus and footers, that sort of thing.
But some web pages have php code in the middle.


So I'll have a variable, $content, that looks like this:

$content = "<p>I'm content</p>\n\n<?php print \"hello world\n"; ?>
<p>More content</p>";

How can I get php to execute the code inside the code blocks in the
variable?

Thanks,

This works for me:

<?php
$content = "<p>I'm content</p>\n\n<?php print \"hello world\n\";
?><p>More content</p>";
// you were missing a backslash here _______________ _________^__

// use '?>' to "get out" of PHP mode :)
eval('?>' . $content);
?>

I also tried the more logical
eval('?>' . $content . '<?php');
but that gives me a parse error

Except for the line above

The ?> ends the comment and the rest gives a parse error

When I tested it I didn't have the comments in :)

Thanks, that worked exactly as I hoped once I got my typos out.
