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

I already go through with given link. But Do we have any other way to run PHP code without Enabling PHP on template ? – Rakesh Angre May 16 '16 at 10:42
    
Try writing a plugin, then you have an EE tag that runs the php for you. – Jim Wyse May 16 '16 at 12:40
