Inserting HTML code into a text field

Hi,
I am trying to insert the following code into a text field inside CMSB:
Lots of surrounding text then I need to show the current date <?php echo date("d.m.y"); ?> then it's surrounded by loads more text.
However in the output the area is blank but the PHP code shows in the page source code.
I know we can use use PHP in the HTML part of a divider within CMSB but I am guessing what is happening in the text field is by design.
Is it possible to show simple PHP stuff like this in a text field/box etc?
I did find this post in my searching for a solution:
http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/Products_C2/CMS_Builder_F35/gforum.cgi?post=87343;search_string=php%20security;t=search_engine#87343
but all I ever got was the following error regardless of where I placed the semi colons etc in a attempt to process it correctly after reading up on the eval function over at php.net:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah.php(479) : eval()'d code on line 1
All ideas / suggestion welcomed with thanks as always ;)

Hi Paul,
You can use the CMS Builder Function getEvalOutput that takes in a string and executes any PHP that it finds inside.
So, for example, if you have a text field called "date" that had some PHP code that you wanted to display, you could use this:
Hope this helps

Hi Paul.
This is just a wild stab in the dark, and maybe someone could stear it right...
Could you create a class such as
Then, in the WYSIWYG, add the class selector.
Then, whenever you wanted to insert the code, you would select where you want it place it and insert a div of that class...
You could have a whole group of these classes for various snippets...

Jason: Works like a dream!
Toledoh: Interesting approach. Time constraints mean I can't experiment with it, but will keep in mind for the future.
Thank you both for your excellent input as always :)
