Which version of EE are you working with?

EE allows use of PHP in templates, but there are security factors to be aware of before you enable it, so you have to enable PHP processing on a per-template basis. PHP should not be a problem provided you have a good control of who can edit templates in your EE setup - vis:

Enabling PHP in a template will enable anyone with editing rights for that template to become a de-facto Super Admin since they can execute any PHP they want in that template

You can find out more about how to embed PHP in EE templates from the EE documentation

EE2 - https://docs.expressionengine.com/v2/templates/php.html

EE3 - https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/templates/php.html
