    So, here's the scoop:

    I have a file upload script which generically encodes any file I upload
    into a series of BLOB fields in a database.

    I then use a PHP script to emulate that file when requested. (so an <img>
    tag, for example, might link to file_push.php?choice=1, which is a script
    that pulls the data from the table, and echoes it, after the appropriate
    header, out to the browser, thus creating an image.)

    In general, it works fine, BUT I would like to be able to upload a PHP
    script in the same fashion and then execute that script when requested.

    I have tried include(file_push.php?choice=1) and
    file(file_push.php?choice=1) and both give me an error indicating the file
    doesn't exist. Any suggestions?
