Description
Macro used as an entry point to execute PHP script. It's based on Quercus PHP engine and synchronized on its versions.
Usage
Unlike the other scripting languages available for XWiki, PHP is a semi-templating scripting language, which means that it must explicitly wrap code sections inside <?php ?> markers:
Parameters definition
See the Script Macro for details.
Example 1
Result:
Hello World!
Example 2
{{php}} Some static content inside the PHP macro,
<?php echo("and some dynamic content."); ?> {{/php}}
Example 3
Calling Java methods.
Result:
xwiki:CurrentSpace.CurrentDocument
Limitations
A current limitation of the Quercus library is that variables and class definitions are only valid inside the same macro block.
$i will be visible inside the same macro block:
<?php echo ($i); ?>
The correct value of i will be printed, 5.
{{/php}}
Unfortunately, here $i will not be valid:
{{php}} <?php echo ($i); ?> {{/php}}
