Using custom PHP code
Custom PHP code may be embedded in some types of site content, including posts and blocks. While embedding PHP code inside a post or block is a powerful and flexible feature when used by a trusted user with PHP experience, it is a significant and dangerous security risk when used improperly. Even a small mistake when posting PHP code may accidentally compromise your site.
If you are unfamiliar with PHP, SQL, or Drupal, avoid using custom PHP code within posts. Experimenting with PHP may corrupt your database, render your site inoperable, or significantly compromise security.
Notes:
- Remember to double-check each line for syntax and logic errors before saving.
- Statements must be correctly terminated with semicolons.
- Global variables used within your PHP code retain their values after your script executes.
register_globals is turned off. If you need to use forms, understand and use the functions in the Drupal Form API.- Use a
print or return statement in your code to output content. - Develop and test your PHP code using a separate test script and sample database before deploying on a production site.
- Consider including your custom PHP code within a site-specific module or
template.php file rather than embedding it directly into a post or block. - Be aware that the ability to embed PHP code within content is provided by the PHP Filter module. If this module is disabled or deleted, then blocks and posts with embedded PHP may display, rather than execute, the PHP code.
A basic example: Creating a "Welcome" block that greets visitors with a simple message.
Add a custom block to your site, named "Welcome". With its input format set to "PHP code" (or another format supporting PHP input), add the following in the Block body:
print t('Welcome visitor! Thank you for visiting.');
To display the name of a registered user, use this instead:
global $user;
if ($user->uid) {
print t('Welcome @name! Thank you for visiting.', array('@name' => $user->name));
}
else {
print t('Welcome visitor! Thank you for visiting.');
}
Drupal.org offers some example PHP snippets, or you can create your own with some PHP experience and knowledge of the Drupal system.

The Views module allows administrators to create dynamic lists of content
for display in pages or blocks. It is possible to insert those lists into
existing node bodies and blocks, but such inclusion requires that PHP
filtering be turned on. The Insert View module allows any user to insert
view listings using tag syntax, without the need for PHP execution
permissions. The Insert View tag syntax for embedding a view is relatively
simple:
[view:my_view]
is replaced by the content listing corresponding to the named view. In
this case it is my_view.
[view:my_view=my_display]
invokes the my_view view using the my_display view display ID. If the
display slot is left empty, the view's "default" display is used.
[view:my_view=my_display=1,2,3]
uses the my_display view display, and passes a comma delimited list of
arguments (in this case 1, 2, and 3) to the view.
Here's an example you could use with the default view named "tracker"
which uses the page display and takes a user ID as an argument:
[view:tracker=page=1]
In short this tag says, "Insert the view named tracker, use the "page"
display, and supply the argument 1."
Sometimes you want to pass an argument without specifying a display ID.
You can do that by leaving the display ID slot empty, like so:
[view:my_view==1]
How to find a display ID: On the edit page for the view
in question, you'll find a list of displays at the left side of the control
area. "Defaults" will be at the top of that list. Hover your mouse
pointer over the name of the display you want to use. A URL will appear in
the status bar of your browser. This is usually at the bottom of the
window, in the chrome. Everything after #views-tab- is the display ID. For
example in http://localhost/admin/build/views/edit/tracker?destination=node%2F51#views-tab-page
the display ID would be "page".
To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>
To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.
If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>
There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.
If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>
- Image links from G2 are formatted for use with Lightbox2
To add a lightbox slideshow to your images, add rel="lightshow[slideshowname][slide caption]" attribute to any link tag to activate the slideshow. For example:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #3</a>
The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.
There are no limits to the number of slideshow image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each slideshow.
If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:
<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightshow[show1][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]'>image #1</a>
It's possible to show webpage content in the lightbox, using iframes. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to "lightframe". Again it's possible to group the content, (e.g. lightframe[search][caption]) but in addition to that, it's possible to control some of the iframe properties. It's possible to set the "width", "height" and "scrolling" properties of the iframe. The properties are separated from the group name by a |, for example lightframe[search|width:100px;][caption]. If no grouping is being used, then the | is still used and the format would be lightframe[|width:100px;]. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no iframe properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.
Basic example:
<a href="http://www.google.com" rel="lightframe">Search google</a>
Grouped example:
<a href="http://www.google.com" rel="lightframe[search][caption]">Search google</a>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="lightframe[search]">Search yahoo</a>
Controlling iframe property example:
<a href="http://www.google.com" rel="lightframe[|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;][caption]">Search google</a>
Controlling iframe property when grouped example:
<a href="http://www.google.com" rel="lightframe[search|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;]">Search google</a>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" rel="lightframe[search|width:400px; height:300px;]">Search yahoo</a>
It's possible to show video content in the lightbox. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to lightvideo. It's possible to group videos and to control the size of the lightbox by setting the "width" and "height" properties. The properties can be configured like lightvideo[group|width:300px; height: 200px;][caption]. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.
Basic example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo">Google video example - default size</a>
Controlling lightbox size example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo[group|width:400px; height:300px;][caption]">Google video example - custom size</a>
Supported video formats include asx, wmv, mov and swf. A number of online video providers are also supported, including YouTube and Google Video. For a full list of the current supported video providers please see the documentation on drupal.org.
It's possible to show HTML snippets in the lightbox, that is on the same domain. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to "lightmodal". Again it's possible to group the content, (e.g. lightmodal[group][caption]) but in addition to that, it's possible to control some of the modal properties. It's possible to set the "width", "height" and "scrolling" properties of the modal. The properties are separated from the group name by a |, for example lightmodal[group|width:100px;][caption]. If no grouping is being used, then the | is still used and the format would be lightmodal[|width:100px;]. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no modal properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.
Basic example:
<a href="search.php" rel="lightmodal">Search</a>
Grouped example:
<a href="search.php" rel="lightmodal[search][caption 1]">Search</a>
<a href="search.php?status=1" rel="lightmodal[search]">Search published</a>
Controlling modal property example:
<a href="search.php" rel="lightmodal[|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;][caption]">Search</a>
Controlling modal property when grouped example:
<a href="search.php" rel="lightmodal[search|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;]">Search</a>
<a href="search.php?status=1" rel="lightmodal[search|width:400px; height:300px;]">Search published</a>
