Re: [chiPHPug-discuss] PHP Code in a string

[Trevor O. <tr...@gm...>]

Only method I came up to do it on my blog was sort of a hack. I run a
regular expression on the text to pick up the contents of all php tags
(assuming php tags start with <?php and end with ?>. No other php tags),
then I run this function on it:

function evaluate_php($php){
    ob_start();
    eval($php);
    $output = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $output;
}

One thing to note with this is that it is potentially VERY insecure. If
anyone else can add or change content, they can basically take over your
server, so be careful with forms, and don't run comments through the same
function.
