database item containing CI code - El Forum - 07-16-2010

Hello
I have an table in a database in which I have a column: 'article'
In this article I store pure Html code and also CI code.
For instance I store text with anchor, images .. and so I use CI helper code (html, url...)
In my controller I get the contain of the article from DB, and send it to the view.
In the view, I do
Code:
<?php echo $article->row()->contain; ?>But when I display the contain of this article, html si correct but the CI code is not interpreted.
Is there a mean to store in database CI code which can be interpreted when displayed in a view ?

What's the benefit of storing PHP? This only makes your life more difficult... Why not store everything as HTML, already interpreted?

Use a template engine, so you can store the template including template variables, but do the parsing at runtime.
Storing code in the database is not a good idea. You could use eval() to deal with the code, but it is generally frowned upon (it might be a huge security risk).
