Ah, I thought there was someone with questions from a real need … You think he’s a troll?
I’m naive?

Re: php
For the record: pierlu isn’t a troll, he’s searching for help. But the impression might originate, pierlu, because you are disregarding advice you are given, over and over, are ignoring many of the forum rules and are imposing more work on us than you’d have to. I’ll again name some of my points of criticism so you probably get help quicker and more reliably should you heed advice in future.
- As a first step: Look for yourself whether the docs, especially its tag list, the FAQ or the forum might have an answer for you (the FAQ, e.g., offer two articles on the use of PHP in Textpattern, the tag list page lists
txp:php) - Translate your posts yourself, each time.
- Name what you’ve already tried but didn’t work, explain where you encountered difficulties.
- Describe in more detail what you want to achieve. Try to describe your problem to the totally strange persons we are: We can’t see what you see.
- Post your code (and format it so it’s displayed as code. Don’t let moderators do it for you.)
- If you’re working on a website that is online, post a link to the page in question.
- Ask plugin questions in the respective plugin topic. Almost every plugin has its own topic here, and many people are subscribed to them, so the ones you reach will more likely have experience in using the plugin.
- And finally: When a user has helped you: Remember to come back and tell him/her so.
Good luck, furthermore!

Re: php
As Bert (hcgtv) wrote, it depends what you mean by connect.
You can use a php script side-by-side with textpattern by simply placing it in a subdirectory and letting it do its own business. You just need to make sure, you’re not using that directory name as a section in textpattern. That’s not connected to textpattern, just alongside textpattern.
You can include php snippets in page templates by placing it in <txp:php> … your php … </txp:php> tags but be warned, they only operate within that code block. If you need the php-script to work across page reloads or between blocks, you need to store output in a global variable and pick up that global variable in the next code block or store or transmit the output some other way.
If you need the php to interact in some way with the rest of textpattern, you may need to repurpose your php script as a plugin.
Sometimes you can solve it another way: your php script can run on its own in a subdirectory, but you want part of textpattern’s output in its template. For that you can use rah_external_output in textpattern, and then bring that into the other script’s template. An example: years ago, I used to use a separate gallery script that was better at handling lots of images than textpattern. I installed it in a separate directory and styled its template to look the same as the textpattern website. However, I needed certain blocks from textpattern to show in the gallery’s template, e.g. the navigation, and a set of recent articles in the sidebar. That’s where rah_external_output comes in useful.
As the other’s have said, tell us more what you want to do (perhaps with a link the script you want to use) and we can provide better help…
