Title: Execute PHP code from Database? Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Execute PHP code from Database? * [tazatek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tazatek/) * (@tazatek) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execute-php-code-from-database/) * Hi, * I’m hacking a plugin, and have found that putting the PHP code into the DB is my best solution (for a variety of reasons). * I thought that there was a way to put raw html/php code (ie, an entire php page) into the DB (as a single text field) and then execute and display the page. * so if I have something like: * ```
``` * if will output a page with a login link and a register link. * I’ve tried various eval() combination’s, but I either get a blank page, my php code stripped, or I get straight unexecuted text * What am I doing wrong? * Thanks * Matt Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execute-php-code-from-database/#post-831416) * umm, putting php into your db for the purpose of outputting it in a page is no different than creating a page that contains PHP thats going to be executed ( as in your example above) — and that doesnt work. Not only are you doing things ass-backwards, but .. * Thread Starter [tazatek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tazatek/) * (@tazatek) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execute-php-code-from-database/#post-831466) * close… but not quite…. I won’t dispute your ass-backwards campaign, but to save on duplication of code in multiple places, a database is a great place to store it and retrieve it… multiple times. * I come from the land of compiled languages, and PHP/HTML/MySQL interaction is a bit foriegn to me, so I’m learning as I go. * FWIW – I did decide to do a redirect back to the page I was on , which in effect did the same thing, but I was disappointed that I couldn’t execute a page from the DB. Oh well, I guess I’ll just shake it off as another one added to my learning curve. * Thanks * Matt Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The topic ‘Execute PHP code from Database?’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [eval](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/eval/) * [MySQL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/mysql/) * [php](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/php/) * 2 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [tazatek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tazatek/) * Last activity: [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/execute-php-code-from-database/#post-831466) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
