PHP stripped

the fact is that I shall test the Direct PHP plugin, because currently I don't know how it works
I think that the problem is there

Just tried it with Sourcerer (disabled the DirectPHP plugin) - same issue. The PHP is being commented out. I've never had Sourcerer code touched before so this was quite a surprise! I have Activate Content Plugins set to Yes (it does the same with it set to No as well).

ok, please also remind me next week, I will test this more in deep

Nudge nudge again Ced! :-

ok, I have now tested by my side with + JCE => allow PHP = yes
the code is saved but in front end in the article, I don't see anything and in the source code :

<!--?php echo date("Y"); ?-->

currently , without PBCK at all, I'm not able to execute the PHP code like you

That's exactly what is happening to me - the code gets commented out every time.
