PHP in page content

[thomahawk]

Hello all!

I need to place some php code inside the content of a page. But it always gets screwed up when saving.

I did deactivate WYSIWYG before pasting the code in. And I also used the {literate}{/literate} tags.

But it always takes the code out by placing <!-- in it.

How can I get this to work properly?
(And no, I could not find anything about this by searching the forum or google)

Regards,
Thomas

Activate php in your config.php

Code: Select all

#------------------
#Usability Settings
#------------------

#Allow smarty {php} tags?  These could be dangerous if you don't trust your users.
$config['use_smarty_php_tags'] = true;

use {php} your code {/php} in the content

Thank you for your quick answer, nockenfell.

So I understand it {literate} {/literate} is not necessary any more and {php} and {/php} replace the <?php and ?>, right?

And this goes the same in template as in page content?

Unless you have a very compelling reason to actually put the PHP code in your actual page content, it would be better to put the PHP code in a UDT (without the <?php and ?> tags, and then call the UDT in your page content. Safer and harder to screw up.
