Hi everyone,

I have to execute below php in the template which to have a random images on the header. but when I used Ctrl + U to see the source code the php code is not execute and it doesnt say error, but it is display the same thing in my source code. I was wandering how can we execute such php code in the template? I tried to look for helps on internet, but it seemed lack of resources.

<?php

 $num = Rand (0,6) ; 
switch ($num) { 
    case 0: 
    $header = 'header_accountability.png';
    break; 
    case 1: 
    $header = 'header_courage.png';
    break; 
    case 2: 
    $header = 'header_democracy.png';
    break; 
    case 3: 
    $header = 'header_integrity.png';
    break; 
    case 4: 
    $header = 'header_justice.png';
    break; 
    case 5: 
    $header = 'header_solidarity.png';
    break; 
    case 6: 
    $header = 'header_transparency.png';
    break; 
} 
?>

                <div id="Header">

Thanks

Hi somvannda,

This is probably because you haven’t set to allow PHP on your template. To do this, login to your CP and go to “Design > Templates > Template Manager”. Once the template management screen loads click on the template group where your template is stored under. Once the right side of screen loads with the templates click the “Edit Preferences” link to the right of the template you have this PHP code in. It will display a few options for you. Under the “Allow PHP?” option make sure “Yes” is selected. Once you set it to Yes then go and check your page again. This should fix it for you. I hope that helps.

Hi somvannda,

I think Mike is on the right track here. Have you enabled PHP in the template’s preferences?

Cheers,
