Thanks to all,
What I've come up with in the end (since I want the flexibility of being
able to store the $_SERVER portion or not depending on the need of the
variable) is this:
I retrieve the variable from the database in the following way:
select concatenate('$',name,'=',value,';') as a from variables
I can then eval() that result with no problems.
Cheers,
Michael.

Subject: [PHP] Re: Retrieving variables
You may add "\$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT].\"/path/to/file\"" to the database
and then use eval() to evaluate. The better solution is obviously to
store "/path/to/file" and append it to $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT] whenever
you need the full path.
