I’m in need of getting an Advanced Custom Field to show a music player from a streaming service. I have a specific style that I’ve already done to the embed code for 5 different music streaming sites. Which is in the database.

ACF requires a need to use a code like: <?php echo the_field('apple_music_embed'); ?>

However attempting to put that in a customHTML bit for a pattern/template is not possible as it giving a blank spot saying it’s some sort of violation. Which is odd since if I put the actual iframe code in the customHTML box manually, it works perfectly fine. Is there a way to use PHP in a block to do the same thing from the database?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

let me rephrase the question: How would I be able to use a php command in a twenty twenty-five block?

You need to use or build a custom block, or you can try to use a block binding.
These are advanced developer topics.

This is not specific to Twenty Twenty-Five, all block themes use HTML for the templates, not PHP.
Patterns use PHP, but simplified, they show what the PHP produced when the post content is saved.

You could create a shortcode :
```
function apple_music_shortcode() {
    ob_start();
    the_field('apple_music_embed');
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('apple_music', 'apple_music_shortcode');
```
