I am not sure if you can insert php code into a Word Press post, so I am going to test it here and you all are going to get to see the results. If you cannot do it, you will see nothing after this rant. If it does work, well you will know.

< ?php
echo "It is working, can't you tell?";
?>

Now with the “code” tags wrapped around it:
< ?php
echo "It is working, can't you tell?";
?>

Now with the Run PHP plugin:

If you are looking to run php code inside of a Word Press post then you will want to get Mark Sommerville’s Run PHP Plugin for Word Press. It took me about 20 seconds to copy and paste the code to the appropriate place on the web server (NOTE: be sure to remove all spaces and lines after the closing php tag “?>”). Instead of normal opening and closing PHP tags, you use < phpcode > and (without the spaces of course). It works great. Thanks Mark.
