*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Hey all -
I'm curious if anybody has ever setup the logic to put php functions into a database.... here is my thinkin on it, hopefully I can get some suggestions on the benefits, downsides, etc.
(in mysql)
CREATE TABLE `functions` (`functionId` INT (5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`functionData` TEXT NOT NULL,
`functionDesc` TEXT, PRIMARY KEY(`functionId`), UNIQUE(`functionId`));
INSERT INTO functions(functionData, functionDesc) VALUES('function echoNumber($number) { echo $number; }', 'This function echos out a given $number');
(in php) $sql = "SELECT functionData FROM functions"; $query = mysql_query($sql); while($functionData = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { eval $functionData[functionData]; };
This in theory **should initiate the given functions listed in the functions table, has anybody used anything like this? I have a two sites that I NEED to use the same functions and this is the first thing that comes to mind, plus it would allow for gui editing of or creating functions via a secured webpage.
Thanks on advance!
