PHP: Running code from string.
I am working on a script that will take a text file and convert it to styled html.
http://ziaix.x10hosting.com/projects...?showsource=on
What I want to do is run php code from inside the file.
The string will be something like this:
(No dots or joiners there, the code will be in the string and could be complex.)PHP Code:<?php $str = "<div>Some HTML <?php echo 'some php'; ?> More HTML </div>"; ?>
Can anyone help?:dunno:

you can do something like this using eval() function
but cant embedded html that way and no php start and end tag;)PHP Code:$str = "echo 'some php';";
eval($str);

No, that doesn't work. Thanks anyway.
I'm trying to use output buffering, but that doesn't work either. :eek4:
PHP Code:<?php
ob_start();
echo ($text);
ob_end_flush();
?>

I take it you're processing the file before you want PHP to evaluate it, and thus can't use include. You could try prepending '?>' to the string you pass to eval.

Yes, I'm proccesing the file before showing it, and spliting it up into parts, leaving me with two strings. The first is broken up into an array to make the page details, and the second is the body of the page (where i want to include the php code).Originally Posted by misson
This is the new part of the code using eval.
This returns:PHP Code:<?php
function phpRun($code) {
ob_start();
$code = stripslashes( $code );
$code = html_entity_decode( $code );
$code = "?>".$code."<?php ";
eval($code);
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $output;
}
$bbtext = str_replace("}\n", "}", $text);
$bbtext = str_replace("\"", '"', $text);
$match = array('#\{php\}(.*?)\{\/php\}#se');
$replace = array( phpRun( '$1' ) );
$bbtext = preg_replace($match, $replace, $bbtext);
?>
HTML Code:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/ziaix/public_html/projects/wrapper/wrap.php(64) : regexp code on line 1 Fatal error: preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Failed evaluating code: echo \"this is PHP!\"; in /home/ziaix/public_html/projects/wrapper/wrap.php on line 64

No php start and end tag but I'm pretty sure something like
would work ie use echo to create the html and use php without echo when required.PHP Code:// either a$ = file_get_contents(afile.txt);
//or
a$ = 'echo "'"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head><title>"'";
// eg create $title_name with php
echo $title_name;
echo "</title>..... more html ";
//etc' ;
eval( a$);
There's a lot of fiddling required with ' and " etc to create a suitable a$ but I did something similar a while ago. The above code certainly :dunno: has errors but I can't check as I'm on Stoli :nuts:.

what about fopen? you can log stuff and have it generate a html or php file.

Just be certain your system is secure. There's a huge potential for injection vulnerabilities.
