Problem with PHP snippet stripping code

[handycam]

I have a snippet:

Code: Select all

<snippet>
   <content><![CDATA[
<?= $this->load->view('fragment/stay_connected.php'); ?>
]]></content>
</snippet>


However, when I run it, I lose the $this every time:

Code: Select all

<?= ->load->view('fragment/stay_connected.php'); ?>

Am I missing something? Do I need to escape the $ somehow?

Yes, you need to escape $ with a backslash:

Code: Select all

\$this->
