i am trying to integrate a dynamic PHP variable in the tag but cannot make it work.

does anyone know how/if it is possible?

sofar all my attempts of combining it with the MT code has failed.

seba.

The reason this does not work is because Template Tags are processed by the Movable Type engine before the page is created, but PHP code is processed by the browser after the page is created.

So, you can't pass a PHP variable to a Template Tag in this manner because Movable Type isn't interpreting the PHP at all.

You could just write PHP/MySQL code to pull the entries you want straight from the database, rather than using the MTEntries tag to do it.

Ah! I see.


Thanks, I will try that. I am not a PHP coder but usually quite skilled in hacking (copypasting/re-arranging) other people's scripts to fit my needs.

If someone has a link to a simple PHP script that does something similar to the above I would be grateful.

Thanks again. I really enjoy this forum. So much to learn...

Hmm. I have been trying to find a simple php script that pulls entries from my MySQL database rather than using the MTEntries tag.

No luck so far.

Has anyone done this using a simple script? Or can anyone direct me to a php+mt resource site where I might find what I am looking for?

Cheers,
