Hi,

How easy is it to embed PHP within template files?

Can you give me any step-by-step examples of how to do it please?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy,

It is not possible directly. The way is to extend the template engine/language through :

  • A fetch function : http://share.ez.no/learn/ez-publish/understanding-and-developing-fetch-functions
  • A template operator : http://share.ez.no/learn/ez-publish/an-introduction-to-developing-ez-publish-extensions/(page)/10
  • A mirrored PHP function : http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/url-encode#comment48350

Cheers,

Also, the wrap operator extension could be usefull:

  • http://projects.ez.no/wrap_operator

It's a wrapper that allows you to use any PHP function inside the eZP templates.

Of course, you must use this wisely and with caution.

Well you'll have to be caerfull about pretty much the same thing when coding in pure PHP. Performance and security issues mostly. To make a list of it would be out of the scope for this forum.

The main "problem" is that when you use the eZP template language, the eZP itself takes care of many performance and security issues, and if you use much PHP within templates you lose this layer of protection.
