Hello all,
I want to know if it is possible to include the php code in the templates files like this:
<?php
echo"bonjour";
?>

No, it's not possible and it is not meant to. You can gain access to your custom PHP code via custom template operators, for example.

Hi,
The main point of the Template engine is to provide an abstract layer between your language (PHP) and the view (~HTML). It's useful to help separating the view from the controler in an MVC despign pattern.So if you put PHP in your templates, you are breaking the abstract layer and by this way the MVC pattern.
Cheers.
