Hello i have a question about Modx how can I use PHP code in modx because I have tried to use snippet but it doesn't work even doesn't save php code thank you.

Typically, when you create a snippet, you call it like this: [[mySnippet]] wherever you'd like it to execute..

What's your php code?

this my php code:
<?php // Example 26-5: signup.php
require_once 'ericheader.php';
$date=date("d M Y , h :i a");
echo <<<_END
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript.js">
function checkUser(user)
{
if (user.value == '')
{
O('info').innerHTML = ''
return
}

params = "user=" + user.value
request = new ajaxRequest()
request.open("POST", "checkuser.php", true)
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", params.length)
request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close")

request.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (this.readyState == 4)
if (this.status == 200)
if (this.responseText != null)
O('info').innerHTML = this.responseText
}
request.send(params)
}

function ajaxRequest()
{
try { var request = new XMLHttpRequest() }
catch(e1) {
try { request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP") }
catch(e2) {
try { request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") }
catch(e3) {
request = false
} } }
return request
}

</script>

return $s;
}

$yourpass = mt_rand_str(8);

and then doesn't execute

First things first, you should seriously consider separating your logic from the presentation. You have lots of HTML and Javascript in your PHP code. Though you can get away with it, it's simply a bad practice and it makes debugging and maintaining much harder. As far as interacting with database tables, use MODX Objects. You should spend some time learning the basics of xPDO -- the stuff that makes MODX a powerful and flexible framework.

What are you trying to achieve with your script? If it's frontend user registration and stuff, you should try Login. It's a mature and battle-tested extra.

If you must stick with your script, you should use a Chunk to format the output. See the getChunk method for more details. This will simplify your logic.

These are just general guidelines. If you have a complex application, you'll be better off creating an extra. [ed. note: treigh last edited this post 10 years, 9 months ago.]

But it looks like that's a pretty basic registration function, and the Login package comes with a very nice registration snippet.

Thank you I'm going to follow instructions

This topic has been discussed elsewhere. And there, I opted for such a function.

There is nothing sweeeter than having the ability/freedom to mix languages ... and don't know if it will be too much for MODX to allow raw PHP in content.
Yes, yes, I know of the school of thought that supports 'separation of logic', 'security risks' etc ... but does not freedom, at least the modern notion of it, mean, license to shoot oneself.

No. Internet is internet. Its communication. You get ill, you infect others.
