XF 2.2 PHP in a Page Node

[Digital Jedi]

I've always been a little slow on PHP related stuff, but if I'm understanding this correctly, you can't put the PHP code in the template, right? You have to call a custom PHP page you put on your server. But I'm still a little confused on how you do that.

You use the php callback function for that.

There are high level instructions in the node settings explaining how to do that.

I saw that. I am...not completely understanding them. I've been through quite a few threads here with discussion on them, but they are a bit over my head currently.

I finally figured out how to make an API call to a particular kit. I figured out how to construct a PHP page which gets the string of data I want. I'm now trying to see how to get that string into a xF page.

So, say for example (or for actually) this was my PHP content. I want what this page returns to go to an xF page. What exactly would the callback argument to this be?

<?php

$url = 'https://db.ygoprodeck.com/api/v7/cardinfo.php';
$parameter = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
$request_url = $url . '?' . $parameter;

$curl = curl_init($request_url);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);


$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

echo $response . PHP_EOL;

?>

Okay, I think I figured this out. The only issue now is the returned data is appearing above the container.

That seems like you are missing an opening or close in your code that is interfering with the template.
