How to run the shortcode inside PHP?

  • Hi

    I’m trying to run the [catlist] shortcode inside a php file.
    The problem is I can obtain the category name only through a php function:
    <?php echo $slug=sanitize_title($current_user->membership_level->name);?> and I need to insert that name inside the [catlist=”name”] shortcode.

    My attempts that failed:
    1. I have made a snippet out of the php so it looked like: [catlist ="[php snippet = 1]"]
    2. <?php echo do_shortcode('[catlist name=sanitize_title($current_user->membership_level->name);]'); ?>

    I have tested some other coed but to no avail. I have run out of ideas. Could you please help me to get the result?

    Regards
    Tom

    I’m trying with

    <?php get_posts('category_name='.sanitize_title($current_user->membership_level->name).'&post_status=publish,future');?>
	<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
	<?php endwhile; else: endif; ?>

    I almost get the result, but it displays also whole posts, and I want only the title with a permalink.
