Adding PHP Includes from another script?

Is there a way to add php includes from another script without using snippets? I’m trying to include a php file from a seperate folder, outside of MODx, in the template and in the content area. After reading a bit, I think this has to be done in snippets, as php is ignored in other areas. But I wanted to ask and be sure before I completely rethink my plan.

Thanks,

Kenton

You are correct, PHP code is limited to snippets, though you can also use Template Variables (TV’s) with the @EVAL binding to execute PHP code.

Of course your snippet can just consist of

if all you want to do is include an external file...
