Run PHP on Current File?

Post by ashore »

Folks, I had the script(?) in a prior install of TP, but I've lost that. (It was Ctrl-4, IIRC) Can anyone provide a howto?

Thanks

If you want to see the output of the script, you will need to check 'Capture Output' in the tools settings.

More easily said than done: that checkbox is grayed out. Any thoughts here?

I'm not entirely sure, why those options are sometimes grayed out. What's the path to the exe (The 'Command' field)? Try changing it to simply 'php'

It works! (I changed a couple of things - and I'm not sure which did it.) Thanks for the help and patience.
