Allow PHP in posts.

It would be fairly easy to set up if:

• you add a custom field to your weblog (textarea)
• set the formatting to None
• the entire contents of that field is considered to be php code

I could create a plugin like that would parse the php in that field for you in no time. But if you want to combine normal text and php code, then things become a bit more complicated… 😊

If you can do that, Lodewijk, that would be perfect. I can just set up multiple custom fields, I have no problem with that.

Ideally, I’d prefer that within the code I could put something like [php] code [/php] and it parses that, so that I don’t need that many custom fields. But a simple plugin that simply executs the php in a particular field would work for me. By the time I need something more indepth maybe I’ll know how to make it myself 😉

Lodewijk,

If it helps to see how I’ll be using it, here is the page in the weblog, and this is what I had started doing, when I realized a weblog would be perfect for it, if only I could execute php 😉

Check this out!

Works as described earlier.

Lodewijk,

Works great for templates and entries.

Ugh, it’s encoding the < and > so the php isn’t executing. I can’t even think at 6:15, what’d I miss? text formatting set to none, and has been since the creation of the field, and I hit the checkbox anyway to do it recursively anyway. Allow all HTML is on. Type is textarea….. I made sure I typed it in as < > ;p

Just can’t t hink of which thing I’m missing. I left the plugin off the comment page to see why it wasn’t executing. But you can see in the first link in my previous message that it clearly isn’t.

For someone with over 5000 posts, I should know the answer to this. But I shall embarass myself since I can’t think at 6am. 😉

Oh, and thank you Lodewijk, this is fantastic, especially once I’m over my brain-deadedness 😉

Eh, I think it’s just encoding it so that it won’t execute, which means I don’t know why it isn’t on the front page.

Please note that you shouldn’t put any <?php ?> tags in the code. The pair tags of the plugin are substitution for that. Sort of. 😊

Ah that fixed it. Did I miss it in the docs? blushes

Erm, well, since there are no docs, you didn’t miss it. But technically the <?php ?> tags aren’t part of php code itself, so I kind of implied it. 😉

There are docs, in the plugin manager… =) They’re embedded into the plugin, and you wrote them so you must know that. 😉

I’m off to the aminal shelter to clean up their messes, I’ll be back in a few hours. No hints, jokes, wit, or sarcasm are implied anywhere in here. winks

Yeah, you need to set the < to & l t ; – that’s a limitation to the process.

Actually, I take that back. I didn’t have to swap out the < - just in the example code I needed to.
