Re: Strainge problems with inline PHP not outputting TXT tags

etc wrote #314577:

Nope, it’s not parsed the first time. Inside <txp:php>...</txp:php>, '<txp:article_id />' is just a string, nothing more. If you want it to be parsed, say it:

var_dump(parse('<txp:article_id />') == 5); //must return true...

So that helped, I was echoing my body from my own response, so instead I wrapped in parse.

echo parse($response->getBody());

So now within php tags:

<txp:php>
   echo article_id([]); //outputs the proper id
</txp:php>

I still cannot use raw php tags with article_id, and get the out of context error. But I can get the ID. But, a new issue formed. Why cannot not access my own variables defined in the txp:php tags but I can with raw php tags?

<txp:php>
   global $colors;
   print_r($colors) //not defined
</txp:php>

then:

<?php
   print_r($colors) //is defined
?>

how can I pull in $colors which is available on the page otherwise?

Thank you
Rich

Re: Strainge problems with inline PHP not outputting TXT tags

I think raw php support was deprecated and removed in recent versions, you must use <txp:php />. As for global variables, as soon as they are declared so in each block, it should work:

<txp:php>
   global $colors;
   $colors = ['blue', 'red'];
</txp:php>
...
<txp:php>
   global $colors;
   print_r($colors);
</txp:php>

I see.

So knowing some data comes from outside sources (imported classes and such)… how would you handle this? Build a public side plugin?

Re: Strainge problems with inline PHP not outputting TXT tags

So after working out the plugin direction, it seems to work just as nicely.

<txp:rlt_colors article_id='<txp:article_id />' />

Fixes any issues I was dealing with prior, and moves my client code to a plugin.

Thank you for everyone’s input.
