PHP not working?

Is their any reason why this PHP code will not run in Txp?

The echo test runs fine, but the quote bit won’t run? Is their something about it Txp dislikes?

<txp:php>
function testimonials() {
	$quotes = array("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six");
	$title = $quotes[array_rand($quotes)];
	echo "Testing PHP works on my site";
	}
testimonials();
</txp:php>

Re: PHP not working?

You’re not echoing $title. When the <txp:php> block ends, $title is no longer defined (declare it global if that’s what you want).

Re: PHP not working?

You actually have to call $title ;).

echo "Testing PHP works on my site {$title}";

Edit: Ruud beat me to it :).
