If you go to Settings -> Editor (or Editing, I forget) then you can enable PHP within the editor. However note that you wont be able to use the WYSIWYG editor and enter in PHP. There are 2 things you can do:

1) Set the default editor type to verbatim; or
2) Keep the default as WYSIWYG, but when you start editing make sure the very first line is "#!verbatim", this lets you change the editor type per-page. Save this page, then re-edit and the WYSIWYG editor should no longer be present.

Hope that makes sense.

Although the previous mentioned steps allow me to run basic PHP code just fine I'm still hitting one major snag.

I'm using the PHP include() statement to call upon some additional PHP code from within my Tango Pages. This works great until the backend code contains a PHP object operator “->”. [example operator structure: $foo->bar();]

The PHP code executes fine on its own but falls apart in Tango when it hits one of these object operators.

Any ideas? Thanks again!

I guess I don't have a great explanation - I'm not all that great with PHP. I've tried to include() many more independently working PHP files into a Tango Page, and each time it fails upon the first encounter of an object operator.

For example the first operator being used in my PHP file looks something like this:

echo $devices->TableCaption()

Then my Apache error always looks something like this:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function TableCaption() on a non-object in MyFile.php on line #, referer: http://localhost/index.php

I understand this is all still pretty vague - if you think my issue is outside the scope of Tango feel free to ask me to take a hike (-;

Best Regards!
