blocks are written in php by default. All you have to remember is to use

Code:

$content .= "

instead of echo

only the "Custom Blocks" that are entered as HTML in the blocks administration manually.

so I can add my own shopping cart on a Content page?

for content, it'd be easier to write a module, as u can't add php to the content section I don't htink.

There is a good cart system called NSN Cart available from http://www.nukescripts.net if you would rather use that

my Complete Idiots Guide to php-nuke gives you the basics.

most of programming a module is knowledge of how to program in php. All you need to remember is when you define a new page, you need to include header.php and footer.php at the end of each page. Also, if you're going to use SQL database, u need to call global $prefix and $dbi ($db instead of $dbi if nuke 6.5) at the start of each page / function that uses it.
