Hi Adrian

If you have downloaded the HTML file in your PHP script and stored it as 
a variable named $html then you could make sure the PHP contained within 
it is executed by running it through the eval() function:

<?php

$html = '' # Downloaded string data
ob_clean();
eval('?>' . $html); # Execute HTML string data that contains PHP

# Capture the HTML file after the PHP in it has been executed.
$output = ob_get_clean();

# Force download of generated HTML to user browser
header('Content-type: text/html');

# Call the file generated.html
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="generated.html"');

echo $output;

Some notes apply, using eval() is extremely dangerous. You should only 
use it if... actually you should never use it and find a different way 
instead. If you are at all unsure as to what you are doing and the 
security implications then you should avoid it. You should also avoid 
running any PHP that is downloaded from another site or source over 
which you do not have complete and total control. You really need to 
take in to account the warning on the PHP site:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php
