I want to store some conditional logic in custom post types , and then use these in a plugin to generate new content based on the logic.

Eg if a user submits a form with “body temperature”, a conditional logic will tell the user if she has a fever or not, and some extra text.

There will be many such logic elements and I would like to maintain them from the front end.

I was thinking about putting the above into two posts. One with condition field “temperature > 37” and text “you have a fever”. Then in a plugin loop through logic records, take the conditional field and use it as the expression in an if statement.

How to make this work?

BE AWARE! It must be dealt with with caution as the PHP eval() function can be a significant security risk.
