Evaluate a string as PHP code

[smartic]

I need to Evaluate big chunk of a string as PHP code ,that code I'm getting it from the DB and publish it's data into page this page i want to deal with it as normal PHP page to include it into other pages ,how can i do that?
This page (code.php) that get the code from DB:

<?php
//that code for explanation not the real code
mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
mysql_select_db('testing');
 
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM PHP');
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    echo $row['CODE'].";\n";
}
?>

Here i need to include it as PHP page not as string:

<?php
include('code.php');
?>

i need to Evaluate all the page code like:

<?php
eval(include('code.php'));
?>

put this give me an error is there is another way?

eval() expects a string as input but include() doesn't have any return value, whatsoever. try to import the file as string, e.g. PHP: fopen - Manual and PHP: file_get_contents - Manual

Try creating a function that loads and eval()s the code from the database. Then simply include a file with that function into your pages and call the function where it is needed.

Like:

<?php
# executeFunction.php
function executeCode($codeID)
{
  $sql = "SELECT code FROM codeTable WHERE codeID = $codeID";
  $result = mysql_query($sql);
 
  if(mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    eval($row['code']);
  }
}
?>
 

# whatever.php
include("executeFunction.php");
 
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
  executeCode($i);
}
 

Get my thinking?
