custom php in joomla content

hey peeps!

I am looking at switching a clients site to joomla so they can focus on content and not have to call me every 10 minutes with site questions..lol

I currently have a setup where there are a series of articles that have links on the bottom of the page. These links are pulled from a db via a php scriptlet.

I noticed that if I copy the article to joomla, and add my php script at the bottom of the article via the raw edit window, the php tags get overwritten by .

I understand this may be for security purposes, but need to know if I can actually put a scriptlet into the article.

If I cannot, then I cannot manage the links and they will always be static, which is going backwards and would mean checking reciprocal links by hand each time, as opposed to a php system I currently have.

Please let me know if this is possible...

Thanks,
CM
