Video Player for CMSimple_XH

The includephp plugin allows CMSimple_XH users to safely include and execute PHP files directly in page content. It is designed for static includes only, executing PHP files placed in a controlled directory plugins/includephp/php/ and inserting their output into the CMS page.
