Then no, anything generated by your code is NOT processed by the
interpreter. It is simply sent to the client.

Is this supposed to be the page your code has generated? Or is this a
file on your site? The code here is being processed.

It won't work.

You could use eval(), if your host allows it. But that is a huge
security risk. You're just asking to be hacked.

My main question here would be - what are you trying to accomplish by
having files encrypted on your server. Since the decryption code is
right in plain sight, encrypting the files adds no security. If they
can get to your raw files, they can get to your decryption code.

And in any case, the decrypted page (along with images, etc.) is
available at the browser just as soon as someone requests it.

I think your whole approach needs rethinking.
