Making a form with PHP in EZ-Pages

[buzzfever]

I need to create my own form with PHP in EZ-Pages. I've followed this thread and can make a simple echo statement work, but as soon as I try to add some functions nothing shows on my page. Here is what I have right now:

<?php

function validPhone($phone)
    {
      if(ereg('^[2-9]{1}[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$', $phone))
         return true;
      else
         return false;
    }
    
    
    /*

        </form>
        </div>
</html>

With this code, nothing is shown. If I take out the PHP before the form (just the functions) then the form is shown - so I know it's not the HTML. I need to add error-checking to this but don't know why I'm getting an error when I just add functions that aren't even being called yet. I've also used these functions on other sites and they work - so I don't believe the PHP code is wrong either.

Thanks.

Here's what worked for me:

In includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_page_default.php (Copy this file from includes/teplates/template_default/templates/ and place it in your custom template folder), find the following line of code:

<div><?php echo $var_pageDetails->fields['pages_html_text']; ?></div>

Replace the line above with this one:

<div><?php eval(stripslashes('?>' . $var_pageDetails->fields['pages_html_text'])); ?></div>

That will make it so that you can put php code in the <> (Code) section of an EZ Page. (NOTE: I only have one line of php in my EZ Page).

I got this from HERE. Look at post #7. (You may want to start at the beginning of that thread, though, there are some tips for having both html and php in the same page.)
