Just copy-paste my custom php?

Dear eZ-community

I found Exponential today through CMSmatrix. I'm looking for a CMS which provides multilanguage features for a new project. Now I'm considering eZ versus drupal 6.

I have one pressing question for which I didn't find the quick and easy answer I need to make a decision.

How can I implement my own php-code in eZ without the need to comply with some kind of API. In Drupal I can just copy paste it as normal content and declare it as php.

Thank you very much for your help!
Markus

Others can provide a much better answer than I, but here's some information to get you started.

Including your own php code is generally done through through one of two systems for extending Exponential: template operators (http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/template_operators) and modules (http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/module).

Of course, Exponential has an extensive template language which draws upon a wealth of php code, greatly expediting custom CMS development. You can learn more about it here: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/templates/the_template_language

I just came back here to thank you for your reply and to inform other readers of this thread that I finally chose neither Exponential nor drupal. I'm now working with joomla which seems to be the only open source CMS on the market providing a combination of multilingual, multi user group, preselect profile at registration, easy-to-use-your-own-php-code features.

Thanks anyway!
