Hi guys,
Let's me explain this complex trouble:
I have folder "Check PR BL", this one include some pages like: "index.php", "check.php"...And page: "index.php" has some text box for input.
Now, i want these text box appear on Region: "User 1" of my Drupal page.
I try to use "CCK Block" but when add code of "index.php", that appear HTML only. See: http://www.phantichweb.com.
In Joomla, i can use a "Custom content module" to add code of "index.php", very simple. But now, i do not know how to do it. Please help me to solve this!
Thank you so much!
Stephen
In the admin/build/modules
In the admin/build/modules page, enable the "PHP filter" module.
Then, when you edit a block choose the "PHP code" input format.
Still can not solve my problem!
Hi guys,
Thanks for your response. But my problem may be not only stop at there. After research some topics in forum, i think may be i must to create a module for myself. Some of my question are:
1. Are there any document guide HOW TO CREATE A MODULE?
2. How to add that module to a block? I knew how to create a block but do not know how to embed a module to it.
Thank you so much to all of you!

1. did you even try to look?
1. did you even try to look? Documentation -> Developing for drupal -> Module developer's guide
2. Modules aren't embedded into blocks. Modules can create blocks. Read the module developer's guide and it should become clearer.

What Joomla calls a "module"
What Joomla calls a "module" is what Drupal calls a "block".
What Drupal calls a "module" is what Joomla calls a "component" or a "mambot". Some software which does various things at various places.
So, technically, you don't add a Drupal module in a block or in any specific place. You write a Drupal module which *creates* a block.
There is extensive documentation about how to write a Drupal module at the handbook section which WorldFallz pointed out.
Another option, if adding php in a block does not handle your php code the way you want, consider running your php files in an iframe. See for example the http://drupal.org/project/insertframe module.
Problem is solved!
hi all,
Thanks for all, i understood already. My problem is solved by using insertframe module.

mambots is hot!
that's a cool name, adds way more sex appeal (as in, "dude, have you seen her site? she has serious mambots")
drupal needs that kind of sex appeal, and hence i propose renamed blocks to "drunads"

That's the funniest thing I have read on here in a long long time. I almost fell out of my chair.
+1 for renaming blocks to "drunads"!!
