What are the implications of modifying PHP files dynamically based on database entries?

Modifying PHP files dynamically based on database entries can introduce security risks as it allows for potential injection attacks and makes the code harder to maintain. A better approach would be to store the dynamic data in the database and retrieve it in the PHP code when needed, keeping the PHP files static. 

// Instead of modifying PHP files dynamically, retrieve data from the database
// Example:
// Assuming we have a table named 'dynamic_content' with columns 'id' and 'content'
// Connect to the database
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=your_database", "username", "password");

// Query the database for dynamic content
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT content FROM dynamic_content WHERE id = :id");
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $id);
$stmt->execute();
$dynamic_content = $stmt->fetchColumn();

// Use the retrieved dynamic content in your PHP code
echo $dynamic_content;
