Why not deploying the page controller pattern?

...
<?php
analyzeHit();
if (!userAuthorizedToViewThisPage()) {
header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
exit;
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
...

A front controller may be preferable (and it seems you're using
something like that), but that also doesn't require to store PHP code in
a database.

Actually, requiring authorization for delivering certain content is
quite common, but I doubt that there are (m)any sites storing PHP code
in a database for that reason. The only reason I can see for storing
PHP code in a DB, is to cater for user submitted code, what may be
useful for e.g. CMSs.
