Follow-up:
The include_php function requires an absolute path to the PHP file. That's a bit cumbersome when you're dealing with win32 dev and RH8 prod. I couldn't seem to find any way to get the template's directory pre-pended to the include file (XOOPS vars unavailable, smarty vars not set??)
However, the {php} directive does work as advertised and allows me to accomplish what I wanted. The downside is I need to include the PHP code in my template--less than ideal.
I suppose it's possible the XOOPS vars are available within the smarty PHP block but I didn't check that.
Here's how I included the PHP code in my template, in case anyone wants to try it with theirs.
P.S. Many thanks to Chapi to pointing me to the Smarty site and getting me headed in the right direction.

As XOOPS uses smarty you should also be able to include some php files with it. Look at the following site for more information on this topic ...
