    This is what i need.
    Let me know if I'm out of my mind or what.

    I have a table with a field called 'codes'.

    The codes field is displayed on my webpage through php:
    <? echo $row['codes']; ?>
    PHP:
    What I need though is to be able to add text to that 'codes' field from another field call 'bg'.

    Example:

    This would be an example of a data entry in my 'codes' field:

    ...blah blah <? echo $row['bg']; ?> blah blah ....

    Is that possible, do you get what i'm saying?

    Like I need that bg field to be called and placed into that spot in the codes field when that record is called upon.

    You can use eval() for that.
    http://www.php.net/eval

    But I really don't like the idea of storing PHP codes in the database like that. Can you separate them to 3 fields instead? Like, 'codeBeforeBg', 'bg', 'codeAfterBg'?
