This won't help if everything you need is in PHP, but you can accomplish something similar using the layout module. You can create an alternate pagelayout file for each layout you create. For example, we've created an xml layout for exactly this reason. Take a look here: http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Technical-manual/4.x/Reference/Modules/layout, it might provide some insight.
Ivan, I suggest to take a look at Conrad's advice.
A lot of things can be implemented using layouts and templates, and it gives you all the strength of the eZP template mechanism. For example, you can implement the complete RSS functionality.
You can even set the ContentType for a specific layout, it goes like this:
In my opinion the simplest way is to create new extension (or expand an existing one) and add new view. In php script of that view run all the php code you need, echo it and on the end of file add following lines:

Using layouts is far more easier and simpler than creating a whole new extension.
Also you won't have any compatibility problems when upgrading as you could have with a custom extension.
Furthermore, writing a custom extension is a new source of bugs and stability and security issues, while using the layout system and eZ templates is an implementation that lies on a thoroughly tested eZP PHP code.
So if you don't need any special functionality that's not supported by the eZP template system I think that the layout solution is the best way to do it.

Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it!
You're missing one key word. He says everything is in php. So he can't just echo php in template. Yes, layouts are simpler and faster way if you have everything you need in template variables. But that's not the case here. And if he doesn't know about the functionality i was talking about, i doubt that he knows how to get something from php in tpl.
