Running PHP code from within the wiki via a plugin
Added by Chris Peterson over 15 years ago
First of all lets get the obvious huge security hole out of the way. I know that and understand that. This is meant to run on an internal server with no external access. Security could be improved by running a different thread with SAFE=4. I have an internal request to be able to run PHP code from within the wiki. Such that one will be able to specify a new tag in the wiki such as
<run PHP>code</run>
which will run the supplied PHP code and output the result to the wiki. I have done some research and came across Executing PHP code in Rails. I think I would want to wrap the function:
def textilizable(*args)
At this point I am at a loss. I see that I need to pass a file into the php system command, but all I have is a bunch of text. I know that I need to extract the tag from the text variable, write it to a file and then pass that file into the parser. Any ideas? Is this the best way to do this?

Chris, It's very bad idea to use PHP and write code in wiki too. Try learn Ruby instead and write wiki macroses/plugins for Redmine :)
If you need to integrate your existing PHP code - use IFRAME or system exec function
