[FX.php List] Accessing a php file residing on an external server

[Troy Meyers]

Jonathan,

I just found the function that will perform PHP code that is in a variable. It's eval().

Note that for eval() (unlike an include file) you do NOT use a starting and ending tag in the content.... unless you use an ENDING then STARTING tag to surround some HTML you want output.
