blackberg,

Go to the template manager and select the template you want to use the PHP in and turn php on within the template preferences.

I have done that, but text imputed into the entry tab using a PHP enabled template, will type out the text and not proccess the php

You will need to describe what you are trying to do in more detail. Also posting some example code of what you are doing will help.

Hello blackberg,

Thank you for posting your question.

Make sure that you have output or input selected as needed.

Having a peek at your code would be helpful.

Cheers,

I have a web page using a template, the template has php enabled
in the entry that the page uses, the body field, I want to type some php code in that will display on the webpage.

if I type

<?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>

in the entry field,

it will display this in the source code of the page when it loads

 <?php echo ‘
Hello World
‘; ?> 

If use the php in the template itself it works, but this is a one off thing, that may be used in the future but not now, but I will have to create a new template and channel to use the way we need to use it.  Something completely different came up the other day, and that would required a completely different template and completely different channel to get it to work, I handled that one in an iframe, and it was fine for that. 

If I can get the “hello world” to work, then my code should work

I already tried changing the output and input
changing the none/xhtml/< br/ >

and it wont work

For security reasons PHP will never work inside content fields. I misunderstood your first post.

Hi blackberg,

VIM Interactive is correct. This is a security precaution. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
