Yes, you can pull data from the database and then push it into a temp file and
then include the same file again to the original file, but you have to keep
track of the temp files, so that not two users will overwrite each others temp
files and generate the wrong output for them.

Another way would be to use system()/exec() and let cli-php to execute the
script pulled from the database, this require some setting of values before
sending the script to the cli-php, in ase you want to use values from the
original script.

I think there was a third way too, but not completely sure about that.
