Hi!
Wow. This one exploded. Let me sum up what we have and provide a summed
answer so that the conversation remains focused.
"I can create customized views into the data easily using PHP pages. It
would take 10 times as long to write a custom module to do the same work."
This quote nicely sums up what we have so far. However this is not true
for Ber's nor for my proposal. I said: move the snippet into an inc. Same
amount of work to _author_ the PHP code than the current solution. Upload
is a bit harder. However, it seems that people are really want to enter
PHP code in a webform so, I stepped a bit back and Ber's patch is
preferred. I still doubt that if someone has the knowledge to author PHP,
then he can't use FTP.
Ber's patch is a true Drupal solution (mine is not). It factors out the
PHP filter to another module and let's you decide whether you want a more
secure site with this module off (even removed!) or you want to continue
where you are currently.
The two solutions, however, are complementary. If you do not have a PHP
filter at all (Ber's patch) you could still want to use snippets quickly
and easily.
