using php in an html editor

hey Ray

I am trying to use this code in an html editor but it is obvioulsy commenting out the php and not sure how to 'turn it off'?

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["waue_callback_1_Status"]) && $_SESSION["waue_callback_1_Status"] == "Success") { ?>
<p>Thanks for the contact details. We'll be in touch as soon as possible.</p>
<a class="remodal-confirm" href="#">Cancel</a></div>
<?php } else { ?>
<p>Let us know who to call, and we'll be in touch as soon as we can during office hours.</p>
<form action="<?php echo (htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], ENT_QUOTES)); ?>" id="fp_callmeback" method="POST">
<input id="callmeback_name" placeholder="Your name" type="text" /><br />
<input id="callmeback_phone" placeholder="Your phone number" type="text" />
<p>Reason for call:<br />
<input name="callreason" type="radio" value="removals" checked/> Removals<br />
<input name="callreason" type="radio" value="storage" /> Storage<br />
<input name="callreason" type="radio" value="other" /> Other</p>
<input class="_remodal-confirm" type="submit" value=""/>&nbsp;

</form>
<a class="remodal-confirm" href="#">Cancel</a></div>
<?php } ?>

You can't put php code into an html editor.

You should probably set this up as two separate editable regions and put the php code outside of the html that is editable in the html editor. It is an html editor and not a php editor. Getting it to work with php, though possible, would be tricky and dangerous.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

point taken and thanks

so that being said, how would I take the existing page so that when the form is submitted in the modal it doesnt re-open the modal on submit?

Maybe update the page contents in the html editor to be:

<p>Let us know who to call, and we'll be in touch as soon as we can during office hours.</p>
<form action="<?php echo (htmlentities($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"], ENT_QUOTES)); ?>" id="fp_callmeback" method="POST">
<input id="callmeback_name" placeholder="Your name" type="text" /><br />
<input id="callmeback_phone" placeholder="Your phone number" type="text" />
<p>Reason for call:<br />
<input name="callreason" type="radio" value="removals" checked/> Removals<br />
<input name="callreason" type="radio" value="storage" /> Storage<br />
<input name="callreason" type="radio" value="other" /> Other</p>
<input class="_remodal-confirm" type="submit" value=""/>&nbsp;
</form>
<a class="remodal-confirm" href="#">Cancel</a></div>

and update the code on the page to be:

<?php if(isset($_SESSION["waue_callback_1_Status"]) && $_SESSION["waue_callback_1_Status"] == "Success") { ?>
<p>Thanks for the contact details. We'll be in touch as soon as possible.</p>
<a class="remodal-confirm" href="#">Cancel</a></div>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php echo($PageContents->getColumnVal("PageContent")); ?>
<?php } ?>
