I want to write a qurey in the tpl to extract the data according to the query. The fetch command extract the specified data only. What if I want to use my own query. Although the answer is available at http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/development/libraries/ez_db/data_retrieval but that does not specify how I can incorporate the php in tpl

Hi,
now we have two threads with the same question. :-) Anyhow, PHP is not available in templates (seperation of code and layout). If you want to do something that the current template functions / operators do not support, you will have to write an extension. If it is a quick PHP call you want in your template, you might consider writing a template operater. In the Admin under Set-up there is a point called RAD. You can use this to write the operator.
Check the docs on extensions (link I posted in the other thread), on how to do this.
