Hi all,
I'm developing a web application (installed on the client's server) in
PHP. I'm considering putting all the code in the database (using PHP's
eval() function) and then building inn a function so the code can
automatically import new updates as they are released, a bit like
Windows XP does. Any wise stories I should hear? Is this a bad idea? Why
isn't this ever done (I have never seen it)? Do developers know
something I don't?
Peter
