<txp:php> in article/title
I’m trying to get the current month (in PHP form it would be <?php echo date('F Y'); />) to be displayed in either the title or article body. Using the Textbook examples of:
<txp:php> phpinfo();
</txp:php>
and
<txp:php> echo “The current TXP category is: “ . category(array( ‘title’ => ‘1’, ‘link’ => ‘1’, ‘wraptag’ => ‘div’ ));
</txp:php>
within the article body gives me a parsing syntax error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /var/www/sitepath/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(3089) : eval()'d code on line 2 & Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&' in /var/www/sitepath/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(3089) : eval()'d code on line 2 respectively, but nothing else to go on. Are there restrictions on the placing of where <txp:php> can be used, or am I missing something obvious (hopefully the latter…)?
Thanks in advance :)
Edit: added second error.

Re: <txp:php> in article/title
Try
<txp:php>echo date('F Y'); </txp:php>

Hi, colak. Thank you for your suggestion – unfortunately, I get a similar error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in /var/www/sitepath/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(3089) : eval()'d code on line 1 when I try this in an article context.
TXP 4.0.8 (r3085) with PHP 5.2.6-3ubuntu4.1, for info. All diagnostics pass, except for DNS (I’m localhosting).
Edit: <txp:php>echo date('F Y'); </txp:php> does work outside of the article body context, say in a sidebar, for example. So maybe it’s not happy in an article context after all…
Thanks again, colak.

You’d probably have to escape Textile:
==<txp:php>echo date('F Y'); </txp:php>==Offline

And that’s it :) i was missing something obvious. Thank you, wet – greatly appreciated.

Re: <txp:php> in article/title
As an extension to my original query, is it possible to have <txp:php>echo date('F Y'); </txp:php> in the article title, or is that parsed in a different way? Both raw code and escaped Textile-proof instances just spit out the characters rather than the date.
Sorry for being a pain/pedant about this – I looked around and couldn’t see it covered already.
Thanks again :)

<txp:title> does no parsing.
