New function to HTML, PHP (edit .js and other extentions)

As advanced users may know you can make personal html pages completely from scratch.

I would like to use php, simply because it is easy!

The main (and perhaps only) function I would use is

<?
require()
?>

But that on its own is enough to make the HTML obsolete!

Removed 2 of the options, yes is yes, no is no

Otherwise, I voted yes: cool

It might be rejected by the technicians but i'm voting yes because we could do with more coding spaces and advances on EB

Mabey they could do java too?

Just speculating!

For technical reasons, you can't add PHP to your pages (and for security reasons) : it's hard to explain from french to english but I'll try to do it : first you need to have an access to the files of your forum and it's not possible. Then, PHP is a server-side scripting language and it's first parsed for the server and then the content (whicjh is in HTML) is send to your browser. That's why we can't have PHP, more tan a security reason, it's technically unpossible, PHP need to be parsed.

Well seeing as all editboard forums are made of php, you theoretically could write a program (like the one that makes html pages) to do php, couldent you?

Just let us add extentions for example: js. css. php.

I'm absolutly sure you'd allow javascript?

Hello !

As Tristou said, I think the php will be refused for security reasons.

There are too risks for our forums, that's why I vote "no"

The forums are made with PHP but as I explained, PHP is first parsed for the server and then, before this "'transformation" all the content become HTML and is send to the browser.

Nothing else is possible

Well what about javascript? That doesn't need to be parsed... you just write it into the html right?

If it was possible for us to execute php we could easily destroy the
whole server!!! hahahahah

Putting javascript is already possible but I believe that the js files are not hosted on Editboard.

Yes, that's a reason too

Well is it possible to host files with other extensions on it? Why don't you make that what this suggestion is all about?
