Additional Product Description info IF logged in

[chadderuski]

I have a situation where certain product information should only be displayed when a user is logged in much like when you set the store to view prices only when logged in.

I tried to add code like this to the products description:

<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
<p>added info when logged in</p>
<?php } ?>

But it appears the php code is being scrubbed from the description before output, and "<p>added info when logged in</p>" is always displayed.

Suggestions on how to best implement this would be appreciated, especially with the least amount of core modification.

thanks!

After more digging, I found a simple solution to modify tpl_product_info_display.php

from:
<?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?>

to:
<?php echo eval(stripslashes('?>'.$products_description)); ?>

This does work, but I'm wondering if there is anything to be concerned about?
