$db_query = mysql_query("select command from table");
if ($db_query && mysql_num_rows($db_query) > 0) {
while ($array = mysql_fetch_array($db_query)) {
eval($array['command']);
}
}
eval() is your solution.

Umm, I believe eval will error out if it's just text. eval is basically
processing a PHP command, so if you have something like "Bob Smith" and
you run:
eval("Bob Smith");
It will error out because "Bob Smith" is not a something that can be
processed by PHP.
