Processing PHP code in Content Area?

[CWebguy]

Hello, thanks for all your help!  I am looking for a way to process PHP code in the content area, so that in each individual page I can add unique PHP code, and have it parsed by the server.  Right now (I turned off WSIWYG) it copies the code fine unto the page but it won't parse it.  So looking at the source code, the tags and everything are still there, they are all intact, but just not parsed.  Do I need a built in tag or something to tell it to parse the code?

Thanks a bunch!

Basically what I mean is I am copying the PHP code into the page-edit content section, (similiar to writing a post on this forum)  but it's not parsing the PHP.  Not sure what to do 

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You need to use smarty tags {php} your code here {/php} and edit the config.php file to allow php code in content - dangerous, but possible.

Dangerous?  Care to explain

ahhhhh, where do I change it in the config file?  Thanks!

[CWebguy]

ok, I went to where it says $config['use_smarty_php_tags']  and changed it to true  so "$config['use_smarty_php_tags'] = true"  but it's still not working.  Am I missing something?

[CWebguy]

haha, ok, the problem was I needed to get rid of opening php tags.  But now it's saying, URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration, and throwing up an error.  I'll keep looking in the config file for this setting.  thanks!

Aren't you better off using a UDT?...

[Nullig]

Can you post you code, so w can see what you're trying to do?

Have you enclosed the code in the {php} ... {/php} smarty tags?

UDT, sorry, never heard of it

The error I'm getting is "URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in C:\wamp\www\cms3\tmp\templates_c\%%D9^D9B^D9BE697E%%preview%3Acms130.tmp.php on line 113"  .  I'm failrly certain the problem is not in the code, just in the settings (config) file.  Looks like a security thing, just need to turn it off (or back on, haha 

Thanks!

That's a temp/cached file, which needs to be deleted. Clear your cache in Admin.

A UDT (User Defined Tag, under Extensions in Admin) is a convenient way to use PHP code, without having to put it into your content block. Just create a UDT and name it whatever you want, like "myudt". Enter the PHP code you want into the tag content. Then call the UDT in your content page like {myudt}.

Simple.

The path it is pointing to is a tmp folder, you may need to clear the site cache and set the page your code is in to non cache mode...

These are temp files for caching pages...

C:\wamp\www\cms3\tmp\templates_c\

Don't pay any attention to the guy in the other thread, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
