This question came in via E-Mail:
Is there a way to pass VaeML into PHP? For example, if I want to capture the current ID () then pass it into a PHP function on the same page?
Lastly, will PHP includes work properly within Vae pages? I've got some PHP function pages I want to call instead of having the code in each page and it doesn't seem to be working the way I expect it to.
I'll answer your 2nd question first: Yes, the standard PHP include tags, such as include(), require(), include_once(), and require_once() will work just fine.
Note however, that you cannot use PHP code directly from a VaeML template file. (Though you can use the <v? ?> syntax, or use <v=somefunction()> to render the results of a function defined elsewhere, such as __vae.php).
As far as the first question, there are many ways to do what you want.
1. Whenever you're in a <v? ?> block, Vae will set the variable $context to hold the current VaeQL context. So you could get the current ID by looking at $context->id.
2. Also, if you're on a page where the entire page starts within a context (for example a permalinked page), $_REQUEST['id'] will be set to the ID of the entry.
I hope that helps.
