Hi
I have a string like this: "<?php dosomething(); ?><html>....</html>"
How can I get it to run the php and display the html as if it were being run as a file?
Thanks Ben

you can write this string into a file (let's call it "temporary_file") and use the include instruction :

include("temporary_file");

I could be mistaken, but do you mean you have that string in a variable, and you want to execute it, as if it were actual code, without using includes on an external file? Try eval() (http://www.php.net/eval).


<?php
$var = '<?php dosomething(); ?><html>....</html>';
eval ($var);
?>
