Are there alternative methods to eval() for executing PHP code stored in a database?

Using `eval()` to execute PHP code stored in a database can be risky due to security vulnerabilities. An alternative approach is to use `include` or `require` functions to execute the code safely. By storing the PHP code in separate files and including them dynamically, you can avoid the potential risks associated with `eval()`. 

// Assuming $code contains the PHP code retrieved from the database
$file = 'dynamic_code.php';
file_put_contents($file, $code);

// Include the dynamically created file to execute the code
include $file;

// Optional: Clean up by deleting the dynamically created file
unlink($file);
