Andy Woods	Monday 04 April 2011 11:07:23 am 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
Nicolas Pastorino	Monday 04 April 2011 11:43:51 am 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, -- Nicolas Pastorino Director Community - eZ Member of the Community Project Board eZ Publish Community on twitter: http://twitter.com/ezcommunity t : http://twitter.com/jeanvoye G+ : http://plus.tl/jeanvoye

Of course, you must use this wisely and with caution. -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth

Andy " 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. -- Nothing is impossible.
