Allow admin/moderators to embed PHP in posts?

Cool. So I take it a Mod like hasn't been created yet?

For me ... I see one example

I can put inside a post FILMS from http://www.sortons.net/cinema/ I can put the list of the pubs, discotheques from http://www.sortons.net/ousortir ... I can copy/paste of course in CORE html ... but with this system, it's in real time.

As Rod said, one good use for this is posts which update themselves from content stored elsehwere e.g. a dynamically updated to do list, bug list or faq.

I dream ... the great shauninman, which gives me the love of CSS, is here ... ARGHHHHHHHHHH

(going see the mod)

You guys might be interested in the "chip-list" I embedded into a thread using this mod: http://www.haveamint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=336 Or maybe not.

Rod, the script you include cannot send any HTML to the browser. If you can view the page you are trying to include in a browser and you see any HTML then it's not going to work. All HTML must be added in string form to the $return variable. That $return variable is then inserted into the post text in place of the [inc] BBcode.

If you don't need the PunBB variables in your include script then you can create a proxy script that uses file_get_contents() to add the output of the script you are trying to include to the $return variable. My script piggybacks atop Pun's user permissions so I don't use this technique but it should work.

Example PunBB post:

This is my include:
[inc]/relative/path/to/proxy.php[/inc]

Example proxy.php script:

<?php $return = file_get_contents('http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/include.php'); ?>

Example include.php:

I ? <?php echo 'PunBB'; ?>

Using this proxy should result in the your post looking like this:

Just make sure you use the full url for your include file in proxy.php. Using a relative one will result in the actual PHP source code being sent to the browser potentially exposing any database passwords contained within the script. Also, do not use a variable passed in by the query string to choose which file to include in proxy.php--that would open up a nasty security hole.
