How to execute php in custom html

Hi,
​
I have the following simple HTML code in a custom html field:
<p>a</p>
<?php echo 'b'; ?>
<p>c</p>
​
The result is
a
​
c
​
So the <?php script is obviously ignored.
​
What to do?

Hi eckart,
​
Here is how I did it. Make sure you have the Run PHP option set under advanced settings.

Hi different_greyhead,
​
thanks for your answer. Obviously the key ist to set the Run PHP option. However, under Advanced Settings I only have "Locales" and "ACL Profiles", though my chonoforms installation is validated as trial validation. Do I have to activate fully? Or do you have another advice?

Hi NickOg,
​
I got it. Thanks a lot.

can I mix php code with html ? like :
​

<?php 
...
?>

... some html code

​
if Yes ..then how can I pass variable from php part of the code to the html part ? like :
​

<?php
$a = 'abc';
?>

<form method="POST" action="https://x.x.x.">
    <input name="customerIp" value={str:ip}> 
    <input name="merchant" value=$a> 
    <button type="submit" formtarget="_blank">test</button>
</form>

Hi Adam
​
You should be able to do that.
​
In the PHP section
​

$this->set(‘someVariable’,’SomeValue’);

and then access that value in HTML so

<input name="customerIp" value={str:ip}<input name="merchant" value={var: someVariable}>

someVariable ...should be defined somewhere ? as a global variable in CF7 - Settings - Global Vars ?

works !
no need to define this variable
​
Thanks🙂

I guess that I should have added that, if you need it defined to be used from a menu then you will need to pass it as an extra parameter to the form when you could then use (data:someVariable} in the form

OK. so time for second question/problem :
my form has two pages
on page1 there are 2 views :
- first view is a button submit with action to go to the second page of the form
- second view is a html code with a form with submit function ( example in previous posts )
​
I have a problem : the first view/button is not working ! I can not display the second page. When I remove the second view (html code with form-submit) thes it works .
​
Why html code prevents from going to the second page ?

Oh! Why do you have an HTML form on the second page? Why not build it directly on that page - adding whatever controls you need there? Or if you really need a separate form you can use the Actions Redirect control to load your form from your first page?
Or have I misunderstood your problem??

HTML is on the first page !
​
The problem is that on the first page I have 2 views :this html code (with submit action) + a button to go to the second page of the form
This is causing a problem - I can not go to the next page😟
​
When I set the button properties : type submit - toolbar settings : page/url ... this also is not working - the button is not working - I can not go to any other page😟
When I set the button properties: trype buttn - submit page - second page ..... the same problem😟 it is not working
​
The only button that is working on the first page and redirecting mi to next page is the button from the html code ( table with submit action ) .
So if a user selects this button from the html code it goes to the submit url , but the user can not choose other option - he is stuck in this page😟
I can not move the user to the next page of my form or to any other url page.
​
I also found that if I put the html code on the second page of my form - then the form is also not working. I can display the first page of the form but the button submit is not working and I can not go to the second page.
​
When I remove the view with html code from my form - then the form is working = I can submit first page and go to the second page of the form or go to other url.
When I put back this view with html code ( table action submit ) - the form stops working . It displays only the first page / no way to go to the next.
​
Hope this will explain my problem.
​
Why a view with html code is blocking the form ?
