Having problems inserting php into templates

[DrinkMilk]

can php code be used in templates?

I tried and tried to get php to work in templates and it keeps error out.

Any clue on this and how to correct this?

php code can not be used in templates. You can only use variables which will be replaced by others.

The only exception is the phpinclude template. This template is parsed as php code.
