Publishing PHP with Contribute

[Tek_As]

Hello,

We want some users to publish php files with Contribute to our sites. We do
these steps;

- Edit Page with en External Application
- Write <?php ?> codes <b>(Source Code : <?php echo "Tek_As";?>)</b>
- Save
- Publish via Contribute

but Contribute removes <?php?> tags and publishes the file like an html file.
<b>(Source Code : Tek_As)</b>

We set "Protect Scripts and Forms" option unchecked in the "Editing" tab of
"Edit Role Settings" but nothing changes.

Is there any way to do this?

Strange. Do your pages have a ".php" extension?

[Tek_As]

Yes mzanime.com the extension is .php

Do you do something different while publishing .php files? Or the same as .html files?

[mzanime.com]

No, I handle them the same as HTML files as far as I know. It won't render PHP
includes inside of edit mode though, but other than that I have never had any
problems editing (The HTML part of) PHP pages.

Contribute is not supposed to modify scripts of any kind, so why its doing
this, sounds very unusual.

Contribute seems to like rewriting php code outside of template directives.

Specifically with the include tag.

I'm looking for a way to publish PHP using Contribute CS3, but from what I can tell, there is no way.
