Hello,
I have a question of Drupal's beginner.
I would like to add PHP code into a block. I explain what I did:
1) I enabled admin/build/modules/php filter
2) I created a block
3) I clicked "configure"
4) I wrote the following code (I am using tinymce):

print t('hello');

5) I selected into Input format "php code"
6) I saved

And I see a block with the code inside !!! the code is not executed.
What is missing in my demarch, I suppose that I forgot to initialize something ?

Have you try to turn off tinymce when using "php code"?

In tinyMce you must click SOURCE. Because when you simply write in editor tag '<' or '>' - tinyMce replace it with '& lt;' and '& gt;' , so, when you put the following: 

print 'hi';

actually you obtain

& lt;php
print 'hi';
?& gt;

I think that the good approach is the first one: turn off TinyMce
If I edit with "html source code" in TinyMce, then my block is empty and If I try to modify my text, then the TinyMce window is empty !

Well, this is normal, that TinyMce window is empty, because it try to interprept your code. I used in my blocks some not so small parts of code.. Some php code, with using mysql querys, and I have edit it in "source mode". And after that, TinyMCE window was empty. .. One more time. Try to do next steps:
1. open your block
2. edit it with html source code (with PHP code input format). Try, for begin, simple - <?php echo 'Hello, blocks'; ?>
3. Save it

and take a look to result.
