Why does output_form within an article give me an error?

Within an article list, ive output a form that uses a txp tag within php tag, but the page returns an error:

Tag error:  <txp:custom_field name="colors" /> ->  Textpattern Notice: Article tags cannot be used outside an article context  on line 2175

my form is this:

<txp:php>

$colors = ‘<txp:custom_field name=“colors” />’;
echo $colors;

</txp:php>

Im not sure why im getting this error, if I use the tag within the form it outputs properly.
Thanks
Rich

Forget it – i figured it out using the PHP function instead.

Nevertheless: Article tags cannot be used outside an article context means just what it says… Use the tag in question either

• in an article form
• inside txp:article or txp:article_custom container tags
• wrapped in txp:if_individual_article tags

And if I’m not mistaken your php form does exactly the same as <txp:custom_field name="colors" />…
