The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™


PHP by FWD Module

Allows you to create and add custom PHP, HTML, JS and CSS to the module positions. You don't need to use any special tags or syntax, just the regular PHP tags embedded in HTML or by its own. This way you can code a whole module without having to package it up for Joomla. Based on mod_html.

Compliments to the author! Really a nifty coding gem. It's so simple that is almost funny... and helps a lot. A Swiss army knife for custom Joomla modules.

Have been using this module for quite a while. Really, we can't run our community portal site without it. We use it for php includes as well as more complex code.

If you're looking for a way to run php in your modules, it does the job. Just paste your php in the code box, and there you go.

Many thanks to the developer.

I would give even 10 stars! This module made my life much more easier. In less than 1 minute (including module instalation!) I've added currency rates table to my site and I could use this one which I wanted to use. Thank you for sharing. Perfect!

I have this on every Joomla site I have ever created. A few mouse clicks to install and no configuration. Copy it over and over again and use it in any module on your site.

Anyone can use Joomla Mod PHP from beginner to pro, but this is a MUST HAVE for any designer who uses Joomla.

The most useful extension I have ever used. I wish I could give more than five stars...

Use this quite a bit along with a couple other include proggies. This works well and I've not had any issues with it. It makes quick work out of includes and I really like the internal PHP evaluator.

Thank you for your contribution.

Great plugin, it does what is says. I have a wish for upgrade.
There may be an option in the plugin´s administration to choose, whether I want to display the code in the frontpage, or in the single page, only.
I wanted to add a advertisment code, but I do not want to wish to display the cod in the frontpage.

Joomla allows you to choose which pages to publish modules on natively. When editing a module, there is a list of menu items that you can publish the module to, choose only the pages you want it to appear.

I was using this module for a lot of things like embedding the Weather.com weather module, It's like embedding a module within a module. So I am not limited with just using the weather module that Joomla extension provides but from other providers too. I am really happy with this module. You are limited only by your imagination.

This Modul is great.
It gives you the ability to add very simply PHP Content anywhere you want.
"A MUST HAVE" if you want to include other external components like forums(eg. SMF,phpbb, Fireboard as well and so on).
The onliest you have to keep in mind that you don't include
files a second or a third time ;)

Cause this one gives you the ability to add any PHP content anywhere!

Great Work, Great Modul!

I luv it!

This has many uses and works great! Thank you. I use it to add Amazon ads and Google AdSense, and custom content generated by php and javascript. When I migrated a huge and complex site that had been built out of php & javascript from there to Joomla, mod_php enabled me to keep chunks of the old site's code and plop it right into Joomla modules. Terrific.

Great tool. though I did notice a size restriction when using mod_php to show a large body of text with Jquery dropdowns. I could only do somewhat in the area of 56,000 characters in one module. Any more than that (even though I could paste the entire text into the content field) would be cut off when I pushed the save button. I solved the problem by dividing up the text in 4 modules which was awkward.
Owner's reply

You can save the text in a file and use PHP's include() function to include it, though it is a bit inconvenient.

Good to know what the limit is. Unfortunately it can't be helped since it is probably the browser limit on url encoded POST parameters or the limit on the server for receiving url encoded POSTs.

This is exactly what I was looking for. This makes it a snap to add module functionality to any component or to create custom content without having to go thru the trouble of building actual modules.

Excellent module. Makes large customizations very easy.

Only downside is that joomla php objects are not available, that I know of. Such as my->name;
Owner's reply

Joomla modules run inside a function (mosLoadModules). So just as you need to declare any globals with the "global" keyword in a regular module, you need to also do this in mod_php. That way you can use any Joomla Objects/Globals.

This module is an absolute Godsend. No longer am I restricted to premade/set module parameters and content. This module allows you to insert virtually any html, javascript, php, etc. into any module position. This module IS Joomla customization .

Had a couple of small issues but Gabe was great in getting back to me.

Highly recommended if you want to add your own code to a module position instead of having to create your own module.
