Retrieving PHP from MySQL table

[TheSk8rJesus]

Hi,

Bit new to PHP but I'm currently trying to pull PHP from my MySQL table.

My table looks like this

name| content
page | <?php echo "hello world"; ?>

unfortunately when i run the following code on the page, all i get is the php shown on my page in plain text

Code: Select all

<?php
$query = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM table", $connect );

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $query ) )
{
extract( $row )

echo $page;
}
?>

can someone let me know if this is possible, or am i showing the data incorrectly.

Hi,

Try the following, it may help:

<?php
$query = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM table", $connect );

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $query ) )
{
echo $row['page'];
}
?>
