[David A. Roth]

Thanks so much for writing this and making it available for Joomla  
1.5, Anthony Ferrara!

I downloaded, installed it in Joomla 1.5rc1 and it works!

I tested it as {php} with some PHP code and also including a .php  
file as {phpfile} and worked with no problems. Good job!
I also like the idea of having {php} for inserting code and {phpfile}  
for file includes.
