Forgive me if I'm overlooking something, but why not just use a class?

Subject: functions IN the database.
*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!
