process php inside of echoed $_POST variable

[krisahil]

Hi all,
I'm using Peter's CMS tutorial for my own CMS, but I'm stuck at one point. I want to use php code inside my articles. For example, let's say one 'thearticle' field in 'cmsarticles' contains:

<p>Does php process below?</p>

<?php
$meee = 'hello world';
echo $meee;
?>

But when I echo the field 'thearticle' using:

<?php echo $row['thearticle'] ?>

The html output only produces "Does php process below?". Not "hello world." Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Bump?

well it might have something to do with the fact that you are using 2 sets of php tags which will be conflicting aswell as the fact that your code is wrong e.g.

by using ur code the actual page code generated would be

<?php echo
<p>Does php process below?</p>

<?php
$meee = 'hello world';
echo $meee;
?>
?>

i dont think you will be able to include php code in your articles unless you code arround it as you are echoing the artice content from inside a php function itself unless maybe its because u missed the semicolon off the end of the echo for the article, also use brackets with the echo command it is better practice i.e.

echo('some stuff to echo');
