[drupal-docs] New php snippets page

[Laura Scott]

Maybe I did not word it well. Dublin Drupaller seemed to love it, though 
-- this was a child page to the section he created. Here is an example 
where the code would be needed:

> <h3>recent posts on DVD authoring</h3>

> <?php

> /**
>  * Creates a list of node titles from a specific category
>  * with a link to each node.
>  *
>  * To change which taxonomy is listed, simply edit the $taxd_id number.
>  * To change the number of node titles listed, simply edit the 
> $list_no number.
>  *
>  * This works with drupal 4.5 and drupal 4.6
>  */
> $taxo_id = 34;
> $list_no =5;
> $sql = "SELECT node.title, node.nid FROM node INNER JOIN term_node ON 
> node.nid = term_node.nid WHERE term_node.tid = $taxo_id LIMIT $list_no";
> $output .= "<ul>";
> $result = db_query($sql);
> while ($anode = db_fetch_object($result)) {
> $output .= "<li>".l($anode->title, "node/$anode->nid")."</li>";
> }
> $output .= "</ul>";
> print $output;
> ?>
> </div><!--end fpbox_dvd-->
> <div class="fpbox" id="fpbox_integratedweb">

I would guess that it would only make sense if you ran into a situation 
where you were trying to put more than one php snippet into a single node.
