How to insert PHP code into table in database?

Question

I'm building an admin panel for some website, and I want to add the option to publish a new page. I want to build some text editor that will allow the publisher add HTML/PHP code.

I tried to insert text into dababase table and than print that:

EOF;
echo "1";
echo <<<EOF

But the output is "EOF; echo "1"; echo <<<EOF"

How can I add PHP/HTML code into my database table?

It's usually a very bad idea to do things like that, especially if that comes from a user input, as it could easily affect your server. — Madara's Ghost

Usually, yes, but I could see doing this in something like an Admin Control Panel, for example if you're making a custom CMS system. — RonLugge

In this case im building CMS system, and the website will be stored in the site-owner server, so the user in this case can affect only on his own server.. or am im swong? Thanks for the comments. — jony

It's reversed, it should be

echo <<<EOF


echo "1";


EOF;

You can add php/html to the database like a normal, text. After when you retrieve your PHP code, if you want to execute it, you must use eval function.

and don't forget that the storing code in the database is almost always a sign of very bad software design.
