Can PHP be used within a template?

[b00tsauce]

I basically have some templates that I'm editing that were taken from a hardcoded page that had some simple PHP calls like 'include' and 'require'.

Is there a way to call out PHP thru the style manager?

99% of the templates? No.

In phpinclude_start yes

Hi there

In the phpinclude_start/end templates you can put your php code.
If you want to show a result in a template, put it in a variable:

// this is for the phpinclude_start
$blah = "Blah blah";

// example for forumhome
// in forumhome, above the guest welcome message, add
<div>$blah</div>


You can do this with your php functions now.

Whats the difference between phpinclude_start and phpinclude_end ?

Whats the difference between phpinclude_start and phpinclude_end ?

I believe that phpincude_start is ran before the page contents is displayed and executed, whereas phpinclude_end would be after the page has been executed.
