How can the Compiler Class in Smarty be effectively modified to resolve the issue of PHP tags not being permitted?

Issue: The Compiler Class in Smarty does not allow PHP tags, which can be limiting when trying to include PHP code in templates. To resolve this issue, we can modify the Compiler Class to allow PHP tags by adding a custom rule that allows PHP code to be parsed correctly. 

// Modify the Compiler Class in Smarty to allow PHP tags
class CustomCompiler extends Smarty_Compiler
{
    public function compileTag($tag, $args, $parameter)
    {
        if ($tag == 'php') {
            return "<?php {$args} ?>";
        } else {
            return parent::compileTag($tag, $args, $parameter);
        }
    }
}

// Implement the fix by using the CustomCompiler class
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->setCompilerClass('CustomCompiler');
