Question Need help with "nested" PHP

Currently I have a website that contains one php page and based on what the user selects from the pull down menu, that is what gets populated on the page from a MySQL database. The code works perfectly unless I need to
PHP Code:
<?php                            
        $value 
$_GET['page'];                        
            
        
$connection mysql_connect(localhost"ID""PW");
        
$db mysql_select_db("DB") or die( "Couldn't select database");
        
$sql "SELECT * FROM site WHERE page_id = '$value'";
        
$mysql_result=mysql_query($sql,$connection);
        
$num_rows=mysql_num_rows($mysql_result);
        
                    if (
$num_rows == 0){
                            echo 
" ";
                    } 
            
                    else {    
                        while (
$row=mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)) {
                                
$pagename=$row["pagename"];
                                
$content=$row["content"];

                        echo 
"<h1>$pagename</h1>
                                $content"
;
                        }
                    }
                    
                
mysql_close($connection);
                
?>
I want to be able to store another php script in the $content from my database so that it is called when the user selects the page. No matter what I have tried, the php does not work and instead it prints the php code.

Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction please?
