Hmm... that may work for what you're trying to do and it may not... if your string contains something like this: $str = <<<END_STRING <b>This is some HTML</b><br> <i>Powered by PHP <?php echo phpversion() ?></i> END_STRING; You're going to have a bit of a problem processing that with eval. I'm not completely sure on this one, but you might try this: eval('?>' . $str); Assuming your string looks like the $str above, the beginning '?>' should drop eval out of PHP mode, print the HTML, execute the PHP commands when it goes back into PHP mode, etc... it should all work that way. --Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Skwar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Matt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2001 5:02 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Processing PHP within a string variable > So sprach Matt am Wed, Jan 24, 2001 at 03:56:37PM -0600: > > string is a mixture of PHP code and HTML.
