including php code in a Tab

Ok so I have tried every imaginable combination. I would like to include a simple php include within the contents of a tab

I have tried making a module using mod_php and including the Module - BLANK

I have tried using hte xhtml code option within the Tab setting under the component GK Tab - BLANK

I have also installed other potential modules / plugins that allow the insertion of php into a module/article etc etc.

if I use the tab manager to include an article that has php inserted in it - it tries to show the included php file as an image

any suggestions?

I am using Joomla 1.5.22 Php 5.2.6

and example of the code in mod_php would be...

<?php include("/hpath/to/file/xml-feeds/folder1/filename.php"); ?>

I've installed directphp plugin http://bit.ly/sFKADh which works with non Gavick templates and am thinking there is something causing it not to work.

The outup comes out as being blanked
<!--?php include("absoluteurl/file.php"); ?--></div>

May be wrong.

So what can we do?

Please check whether you editor plugin don't strip php tags, you can check this in editor plugin or in article filters settings.

Have checked the database and so the editor hasn't done anything it shouldn't have.

What is in the database

Code: Select all

<?php include("absoluteurl/file.php"); ?>

What appears when the site is presented

Code: Select all

<!--?php include("absoluteurl/file.php"); ?-->

Is this a J!1.7 issue as it doesn't happen in J!1.5?

Chased down another process that works - Blank Module - http://bit.ly/swUlrD

You can place html, javascript, php and css into a module

Works with J!1.7 which is great
