Php code displaying in the output.

nvijaya, the PHP code runs with errors.

The PHP code used with Insert PHP needs to be able to run independently before it will run without errors within Insert PHP.

If you put this into a file named test.php

<?php
$name = get_post_custom_values('staff_name');
$image = get_post_custom_values('staff_image');
$info = get_post_custom_values('staff_info');
$email = get_post_custom_values('staff_email');
$contact = get_post_custom_values('staff_contact');
foreach ( $image as $key => $value ) {
echo $value;
foreach ( $name as $key1 => $value ) {
if($key == $key1){
echo "<span class='staff_name'>".$value." "."| </span>";
}
foreach ( $info as $key2 => $value ) {
if($key ==  $key1 && $key1 == $key2){
echo "<span class='staff_info'>"." ".$value."</span><br />";
}
foreach ( $email as $key3 => $value ) {
if($key == $key1 && $key1 == $key2 && $key2 == $key3){
echo "<span class='staff_detail'><span style='font-weight:lighter;'>Email:</span>"." ".$value."<br />";
}
foreach ( $contact as $key4 => $value ) {
if($key == $key1 && $key1 == $key2 && $key2 == $key3 && $key3 == $key4){
echo "<span style='font-weight:lighter;'>Direct:</span>"." ".$value."</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />";
}
}
}
}
}
}
?>

Then load test.php to your server and type its URL into your browser. You’ll see what I mean.

The error I noticed immediately is the code between the [insert_php][/insert_php] tags calls a function get_post_custom_values(). Yet, there is no such function available in the code between the [insert_php][/insert_php] tags.

I think get_post_custom_values() is a WordPress function. Unfortunately, WordPress functions aren’t available to PHP code between the [insert_php][/insert_php] tags.

Intuitively, a person could think WordPress functions would be available for use here as they are available for use in WordPress plugins. But that’s not the case. The code between [insert_php][/insert_php] tags is never made a part of the plugin. Instead, Insert PHP runs the code within an eval() statement.

Once your PHP code runs independently on a page by itself, then it can be used with Insert PHP.
