Why can't i put PHP in product description

[otacon221]

When adding a new product why doesn't php work in it?

 

How can i go around this so that i can put PHP in there?

You can use the eval function in products_info.php but be careful what your doin.

<?php $product_info['products_description'] = "
<table border=0 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=100%>
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS); ?>
</td></tr></table>
"; ?>

<?php eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_description'] . ' <?php '); ?>

I have BTS installed, would I add the exact code you posted to the product_info.tpl.php or do I replace something?

 

Thanks in advance!

I need to know too! Please help!

You put this

 

<?php eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_description'] . ' <?php '); ?>

 

in place of this

 

$product_info['products_description']

 

in products_info.php or product_info.tpl.php fot BTS

Works like a charm! Thanks!

Hi there;

I cant use HTML tags on products description. For example; i wrote.

 

Specs <p><p>

              Controls<p>

              Nice<p>

 

 

It returns

 

Specs_p__p_Controls_p_Nice_p_

 

When i go to the MySql on pruducts table. The product_description field again,

 

Specs_p__p_Controls_p_Nice_p_

 

I think there can be a problem at admin/catagories.php while adding the products.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks a lot and sory for my poor english..

you must have uploaded catalog/includes/functions/database.php into your admin catalog/admin/includes/functions/database.php

 

This function is for admin it doesnt call tep_sanitize_string().

 

 

  function tep_db_prepare_input($string) {
   if (is_string($string)) {
     return trim(stripslashes($string));
   } elseif (is_array($string)) {
     reset($string);
     while (list($key, $value) = each($string)) {
       $string[$key] = tep_db_prepare_input($value);
     }
     return $string;
   } else {
     return $string;
   }
 }

I was referred to this thread by another for this fix...........however, I don't see the code that's posted in product_info.php........is this supposed to be inserted in /catalog/product_info.php??? or another file?? :blink:

 

Thanks Dave!

Hi

 

Another thanks to Dave. The eval function worked for me straight off.

 

There is another thread similar to this here and as mentioned by Germ

 

Offhand, I'd say to change this line:

 

 <p><?php echo stripslashes($product_info['products_description']); ?></p>

 

To:

 

  <p><?php eval (' ?> ' . $product_info['products_description'] . ' <?php '); ?></p>

 

Thought I'd just clarify so if anyone else needs this, it's all in one post. You need to change the above code in the catalog/product_info.php file around line 120 on a default install of 2.2Rc2a

 

Cheers
