How can PHP code stored in database cells be executed and evaluated without using eval()?

Storing PHP code in database cells and executing it using eval() can pose security risks and is generally not recommended. Instead, a safer approach is to store the PHP code as a string in the database and then use functions like include() or require() to execute the code. 

// Retrieve PHP code from the database
$phpCode = "echo 'Hello, World!';";

// Create a temporary PHP file
$filePath = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'temp_php_file');
file_put_contents($filePath, "<?php $phpCode");

// Execute the PHP code
include $filePath;

// Clean up the temporary file
unlink($filePath);
