I have a flash file (swf) coded to send post data to a php file. The post data includes php code to execute. Is there a way to execute PHP in a variable other than writing it to another .php file and running it?

you would use eval($string); (http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php)

Yes, you'd use the method Master_script_maker has shown above. Remember, be very careful when eval'ing items. A user maybe able to insert his own PHP in and could even delete your whole site.
