PHP in blocks

Hello...I'm trying to execute some php code that will display a random image on a right block on the top page. However, the block doesn't show up. Can the blocks handle PHP? I noticed that you can change the Content Type to PHP so I assume it could. However, I could not even display a simple "Hello World" script.

In particular, I'm trying to use CPMFetch to display my images. On a separate page, it works but when I transfer them to blocks, it doesn't. Has somebody gotten cpmfetch to work properly?

You can use


{php}{/php}

See this manual.

remove the tags as they aren't needed when selecting block type as php

<?php & ?> aren't needed in that case..

also i have got cpmfetch working to show coppermine gallery random images in a block on xoops.

all i have in the block of XOOPS is


include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/cpmfetch/randomimage.php';

the cpg gallery is in a folder called gallery inside the XOOPS root folder.

cpmfetch is also a subdir of XOOPS root.

u can see it working athttp://www.bbtb.co.uk

Thanks for the suggestion of doing an include instead. I tried it and it seems to be working. However, my thumbnails are much smaller than yours. Do you know how I can make this a bit bigger? How big are your thumbnails (in pixels)? It seems to be the right size that I need.

Thank you...I will try that.

By the way, do you know how to make the images display in the center of the block? I tried adding the


<center></center>

codes but they don't seem to work.

I tried both options in this thread and still can't get the images to show up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong??
