    <p>I'm writing a <strong>PHP framework</strong> which allows PHP developers to <strong>create ExtJS interfaces</strong> with forms, grids, tabpanels and menus <strong>using PHP classes</strong> only.</p> <p>In order to create a TabPanel, for example, a <strong>PHP class</strong> is instantiated <strong>with an array of URLs</strong> which <strong>get loaded dynamically</strong> when the user clicks on a tab header. </p> <p>In order to do this, I use the following Javascript function which <strong>loads a PHP page</strong> via AJAX call and <strong>executes any scripts</strong> inside it.</p> <pre><code>function loadViewViaAjax(url) { Ext.Ajax.request({ url: url, success: function(objServerResponse) { var responseText = objServerResponse.responseText; var scripts, scriptsFinder=/&lt;script[^&gt;]*&gt;([\s\S]+)&lt;\/script&gt;/gi; while(scripts=scriptsFinder.exec(responseText)) { eval(scripts[1]); } } }); } </code></pre> <p>I often read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4500373/is-this-use-of-javascript-eval-100-safe">as in the answers to this question</a> that there is <strong>usually no need to use eval()</strong> since what you need to do with eval() can be usually be <strong>achieved in others ways</strong>. I also understand that executing scripts within a PHP page loaded via AJAX presents a security risk that would need to be locked down in other ways, so I would like to find another, safer way to do this if possible.</p> <p><strong>What would be an alternative way to dynamically load and execute javascript from the server without eval(), so that I have the same functionality as I do now with the above script, i.e. TabPanels which load and execute Javascript from the server only when the tab headers are clicked?</strong></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
