PHP in page content

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?
Greetings,
Thomas

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.
