Escape Tags In A String


I have a complete file in a single-line string. Now this string also contains <? and ?> or other script-tags. Of course if I "print" or "echo" the string the php won't be interpreted. But that is exactely what I want. I want scripts like PHP to be executed when I print that string e.g. in a template. Instead it shows something like this:

"
This is the content of my file <? echo "__FILE__"; ?> which I want to execute scripts.
"

Anyone know how to have them PHP-Tags be processed?

Removing HTML Tags From String
I have a bit of code that selects data from a MySQL LONGTEXT field. The data will typically contain some HTML tags.

The PHP then cuts this down to 100 characters, and adds ".....[more]" as a clickable link at the end which loads a new page containing the complete data.

If you like, this will produce a list of snippets of ALL entries in the table and the user can choose which one to read in its entirity.

It works brilliantly, but if there are any HTML tags around the 100 character position then random results occur. Well, not random but difficult to calculate.

My solution is to strip out these HTML tags using a PHP function, and then cutting the data down to 100 chars. Code:

Strip Slashes From Between Two 'tags' Inside A String

What I've got so far:
Code: $tmpl = preg_replace("!{php}([^{])+{/php}!e", "stripslashes('$1')", $tmpl);
which just doesn't work, or
Code: $tmpl = preg_replace("!{php}(.|s)+{/php}!e", "stripslashes('1')", $tmpl);
which loses everything.

Do I Need To Escape This Code?
After you all gave me some good advice recently, I'm back for more :o)

On my web site, I want to display a 'log out' icon with some text
underneath, ("Log out"), which, when clicked, will end a session.

This is the simple code I'm using for the icon:

<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?action=log_out">
<img border="0" src="images/logout.gif" width="74" height="74"><p
style="text-align: center">

This all works fine and, when clicked, the session is ended and the
user returns to my web site's home page.

Now's the complicated, (Well for me, anyway), bit; I only want to show
the 'log out' icon when the user is actually logged in.

So, I've been using isset to determine the session state:

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['user'])) {?>
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?action=log_out">
<img border="0" src="images/greenround.PNG" width="74" height="74"><p
style="text-align: center">

Escape To Unicode?
I've begun dealing with PHP's XML functions (puttup!)

I shoudl say- php's DEFAULT XML functions, no extensions. Probably not
5.0. I don't care...

The POINt is, they choke on funny characters, even encoded funny
characters. You need to use the unicode. (change &ntilde; to ń).

Whatevuh.

That's why, why- now ignore that part, because it will distract and
proably cause you to misconstrue the thrust of the question to follow:

Does PHP have a function that will escape all funny characters in a
string (encoded, unencoded, both, either...) to their unicode
equivilants?

In a string- ignore the XML parts of this question.

(I'm looking at pre-proscessing the data coming into forms that will
form the offending XML)
