Can PHP code be used in the template files AND/OR the "content" section of pages?

Hi Freshnode,
No, PHP code cannot be using in ss template files at all. This, (in a way) forcers developers to adhere to the MVC way of doing things, so that templates are used only for what they are there for - presentation.
Any PHP logic you require needs to go into your page controllers. You can create a custom function in your controller like so:
function myFunction()
{
// Any custom logic
return 'This is my custom text';
}
Then all you need to do in your tempalte ss file is call that function like so:
<div>
$myFunction
</div>
Note that you don't need the divs.
Hope that helps. Please checkout the silverstripe tutorials for more:

Where do you or how do you create page controllers?
Thanks :)
In the files in /mysite/code/ directory. This is where the code for your page types are setup.
I'd suggest reading the tutorials like he linked, as it gives a good start.
