How to put php in a single page.
Permalink
I have a directory of groups on a mysql database and I have a php script that I use to deliver html string to the screen. I copy the source and put this into an HTML block. This is a pain. I would like to be able to write this source to a file and then use a include on the specific page to get it displayed. I don't want to run the directory scripts on every page call. Just a file include.
I found where another poster asked about a similar thing and a response was to put the php in the template or block. It was also said not to put php through the front end. So, How do I do this?
Do I go and put php in a block somewhere?, or do I put it in a template? If in a template, how do I specify that the php is just for a specific page?
Thanks

Thanks, I'll look into this when I get off work.
Cool. Feel free to post back here if you run into any issues. There are a few gotchas in there, but once you get through it once it really is refreshingly simple.
Hello again,
I have to simple questions. Please forgive my ignorance here. I once made a change to a droopall install an lost it. So, I what to be clear before I go screwing things up. First, Looking at these block files, I assume that the block files together become a mechanism which allows one to insert the desired code, php, html, whatever, into the database and give it a name and address. These block files in and of themselves do not execute the desire functionality. They are just a means of handling the insertion of and calling of that function providing code into and on the system? Correct?
Second question, is that coffee in those cups?

You can download this basic example.

I don't know how used to concrete5 blocks are but you might want to do a quick read of the documentation here.

On a side note db.xml is required even if you aren't going to use it and it _must_ have two fields. I usually create a dummy field as the second field if I don't need one.
You could also use @jordanlev's excellent designer content addon to create a block scaffolding instead.
