I wish there was a page format where you could copy in regular PHP (not raw PHP). I've screwed around with some PHP code on here for a few years now without success, which forced me to bring in drupal as a homepage. My life is only so long andI can't just screw around for all of it trying to make code work. Would be nice to have IP Content more user friendly for PHP.

I'm not clear what you mean. You can use "regular" PHP in the "raw" PHP pages (there's no difference).
It's simply that the PHP code you enter is eval'd, so typically you have to omit the open <?php tags. Otherwise, we've created many PHP pages on our main website and in various places on the company forums here (most of them are just quick staff things, not public pages).

I am actually trying to work on a php page, but I am getting confused with what to actually put in... For example:
Now when I do that, I get the following error:
So how do I actually input the php tag for it to work correctly ?
<?
$array = array('something here', 'Something here', 'Something here', 'Something here',);
$randkey = array_rand($array);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<title><?php echo $array[$randkey]; ?></title>
Now when I do that, I get the following error:
[b]Parse error[/b]: syntax error, unexpected '<' in [b]/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/pages.php(167) : eval()'d code[/b] on line [b]1[/b]
So how do I actually input the php tag for it to work correctly ?

I think you'll need to do something like:
$array = array('something here', 'Something here', 'Something here', 'Something here',);
$randkey = array_rand($array);
print "$array[$randkey]";
$array = array('something here', 'Something here', 'Something here', 'Something here',);
$randkey = array_rand($array);
print "$array[$randkey]";

There's a big difference to me the end user. On a regular PHP page I can use double quotes nearly anywhere. I can use dynamic javascript snippets etc. I literally had to go with Drupal for off forum site content rather than IP Content after trying off and on for a couple of years to get important php scripts to work. They are the biggest draw to my site.The PHP files could simply be cut and paste into Drupal and work instantly.
It would be great if there could be a selection (HTML, Raw PHP and ______ ) where the source code within that container worked like any other file that can be uploaded via FTP. Save them as html or php extensions etc.

Hmm.. im still getting errors from it, because im using "Raw php" and I have some regular HTML in it... Its spitting out errors because of the HTML..
Is there a way to use both HTML and PHP together on the content page with out getting the errors?
Is it basically using alot of "echo" statements and such in order for it to work correctly?

echo and print are near identical and should work the same.
I would convert your PHP code as so:
Alternatively, you can use what you provided almost as is, however you have to remember as I said that it is being eval'd, and thus you need to change the php opening/closing tags to account for this. Here's an example that would probably work.
While I didn't test it, you'll note that because it is being eval'd and the <?php tag is already open, I removed that at the beginning. Next, I let PHP close as you have it so the HTML can print out, BUT then I reopen the <?php tag once it's done so that the rest of the IP.Content code can continue to execute.

$array = array('something here', 'Something here', 'Something here', 'Something here',);

print <<<EOF

I did the testing on this, and it works perfectly... Thanks so much Brandon

I created raw php page, to content wrote
but I see nothing. What's wrong?

Thanks, It was perhaps issue with Beta 1 edition of IP.Content. I put code to page and it seems that working.
Only big issue when I put php raw code to block

To clarify why the tags are an issue,
The scripts you put in as "raw php" is run through eval. As such, the tags cannot be evaluated. It's like writing...
So, you just write no tags.
