Re: Executing PHP Code from MSSQL table

Yeah, i understand how eval works, but i am not able to change the way
the page was programmed, so, maybe a can put something like -- <?
eval("phpinfo();") ?> -- inside the table field but after that, the
page will read: <img src= <? eval("phpinfo") ?> > but as String,
always as String.

If the php page would have been programmed with a hard coded "eval" like:

<img src= <? eval( getImagefromDB() ) > then after reading my code
inserted into the database, it would works!!!

So, the only thing a can do, is something about XSS as Jim Halfpenny said.

Thanks anyway!!!!
