Short answer:
You can't.

More complex answer:
You could use callbacks or add your own templater methods to execute code, though I wouldn't recommend doing that, usually the proper way is to write your own controller, services, etc.

Is there any detailed tutorial for this? I'm very new. A video (which shows creating a simple stuff like you've mentioned in complex answer) would be great.

Allowing ordinary PHP in templates is not a good idea.
Really, just learn how the system does work and do it properly

I agree, learn proper coding is the best way.
