Add PHP include to field

[Peter Knight]

Does ProcessWire support PHP includes when they are called from a text field?

I've created a field called Inject Include and added a PHP Include call within that.

Right now, the ouput on the front end is my PHP include wrapped in HTML comment tags.

<!--?php include("includes/get-graduates-main.inc"); ?-->

BTW I'm trying this because HannaCode doesn't seem to be supported by 2.5. Otherwise, I'd have a HannaCode in the text field.

It's possible, only not recommended. Take a look at this thread https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3004-is-there-any-way-to-execute-php-loaded-from-textarea-fields/?p=29541

If you lose  the opening and closing PHP tags in your 'Inject Include' code, you can use php eval, http://php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php to execute the code in the template.

But you really should be using Hanna (which should work also in 2.5.5) or maybe http://modules.processwire.com/modules/markup-shortcodes/

Hanna code is the way to go, and should work with 2.5

Peter has got it running using HannaCode, https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3745-hanna-code/?p=77895

To conclude:

In general, never use the eval method mentioned here people!

Yep, Hanna - she is much safer.

If you want to make it less techy, you could create a drop down with preset values that are then written into the template with the logic:

If include value is "Graduate" include this file

Thanks guys. I'd prefer to use HannaCode here too. Much less to type for starter.
