This is for security reasons.</p> <p>However, the HTML field does support WordPress shortcodes. If you place a shortcode in the HTML field it will be processed and parsed when the form is displayed.</p> <p>So another solution is going to be for you to create your own custom WordPress shortcode using PHP. You can simply encapsulate the functionality you want into your own custom shortcode and then you can place that shortcode in your HTML field.</p> <p>This will allow you to execute your custom PHP in a safe and secure way.</p> <p>You would place the code for your shortcode either in your themes functions.php file OR create your own custom WordPress plugin and then activate it.</p> <p>Here is the WordPress.org Codex page for the Shortcode API:</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API</a></p> <p>Here is a details tutorial on how to create WordPress Shortcodes:</p> <p><a href="http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/theme-development/wordpress-shortcodes-the-right-way/" rel="nofollow">http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/theme-development/wordpress-shortcodes-the-right-way/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/php-in-html-field#post-49343 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 19:03:47 +0000 Dana Cobb 49343@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Since this was answered in your other post, <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/displaying-post-images-in-form" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/displaying-post-images-in-form</a>, I am closing this one. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/php-in-html-field#post-49330 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:40:05 +0000 sascha 49330@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am trying to show a post image on the form.
