I wanted to use php inside my channel entries. Is this possible in EE2? I’ve set my template to allow php on output and the Default Text Formatting for my field is set to none. Yet php does not seem to parse.

I know in EE1 you would need a few plugins to do this but I did not see EE2 versions of these plugins….

Hi xpo60rj,

What version of EE are you using?

Can you post your EE code please?

Thank you,

Mike

EE 2.4

In my template:

{exp:channel:entries channel="mychannel" limit="1"}                                  
{body}
{/exp:channel:entries}

In my entry for body field:

<?php 

$test = "test";
echo "$test";
echo "hello world $test";

?>

It just spits out the code.

Hello xpo60rj,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Allowing PHP in a template means that you can put PHP in the template code, but not in a channel field being displayed by that template.

Does that make sense?

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Cheers,

Yes…I was hoping there was a workaround for EE2 like their was for EE1 http://expressionengine.com/wiki/PHP_In_Entries. Having to hardcode my content with the template looks to be my only option now even though it constantly changes.

Hey xpo60rj,

I looked around Devot://ee for an Add-On but no luck.

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers,
