I want to instantiate a PHP variable with some custom field values. Then I want to use this PHP variable is some custom PHP code that’s to be executed on Output.  Pseudo-coding, is the below sort of thing possible?  Or, if not, does anyone have a suggestion for how to cull this data so it’s available for my custom PHP?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="course" limit="1"}
  <!php $newvar = 
    {reverse_related_entries weblog="class"}
      {class_id}
    {/reverse_related_entries}
  ?>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Then, I’d like to use $newvar in some custom PHP that would follow.

Hi wiley,

In theory you could use an embed here with yoru weblog entries tag inside the embed

<?php 
$newvar = "{embed="includes/course-entries}";
?>

Does that help?

JHD, thanks for that suggestion! This particular issue got buried in long to-do list, but I’ll keep this approach in mind for the future.  Much appreciated!

No problems
