I need to put some php into one of my .ss files (its a template) how to I tell ss to process it as .php and not .html?

Hi Jerome187,

Great you learned how to do this. Would you mind sharing the titbit to help other helpless fools like myself?

TIA

pretty much you write a php function in the page controller then call it from your template. Unfortunately this only solved one problem for me, getting the captcha image to display (and validate too) but I ran into another problem when making a form that precesses credit cards via cybersource. Creating the form in php was a huge pain, and I could not even get it working, I could not find out how to change the action to something simple, like action="https:somewhere.com/process.php" I could make the form call a php function when it gets submitted but I did not know how to make php send a form to an address. Also in the form this code was necessary:

<?php
require_once ("HOP.php");
InsertSignature("$ammount", "usd")
?>

I had no idea where to put that... I ended up making the order page outside of ss and using a page to redirect to it. Kinda lame cause its a static page and has to be edited everytime the site is changed from the cms. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can anyone propose a better solution for this? I like SS, becides not allowing php in the templates... and making the forms, its nice for error checking but.... maybe if I knew how to use them better?
