Kevin, I'm guessing here, but I think you mean that you want to insert php
content or testing into the html area. This can be done. In that area
where you want it done type:

<?php whatever_you_want_done ?>

Hope that is what you really meant and that it helps you. Note: This will
still be done at the server and an html page passed to the browser.
