@php - Executing Raw PHP Code

The @php directive in Ahmed PHP Template Engine allows you to write raw PHP code within your templates. This is useful for executing logic that cannot be easily expressed using template directives.

Syntax

@php
    // PHP code here
@endphp

• Any PHP code written inside @php and @endphp will be executed as standard PHP.

Example

@php
    $date = date('Y-m-d');
@endphp

<p>Today's date is {{ date }}</p>

Output

<p>Today's date is 2025-03-30</p>

Notes

• Use @php only when necessary; template logic should ideally remain clean and minimal.

• Inside @php, you can define variables, perform calculations, and execute any PHP code.

• You can access PHP variables set within @php using {{ variable }} in the template.
