 * Hey Guys,
 * I am sometimes able to insert Javascript into my WordPress posts, but it usually
   just ends up breaking and never works correctly.
 * Is there a way to successfully add javascript or PHP code to a page. I am not
   talking about adding the code and actually showing it on the page, but let’s 
   say I actually wanted the PHP or Javascript to run something (such as an embedded
   YouTube video)
 * How can I do this?

 * You are asking 3 different questions: how to have PHP, JS and embedded video.
   
   The answers is yes, for all of them, although they all require a different solution.
   1. search for plugins like phpexe, execphp and similar keywords. 2. [Using_Javascript](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript)
   3. [http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/%20embed+video](http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/%20embed+video)

 * ahrenba,
 * A little while ago, I actually wrote a simple plugin that allows you to include
   free-form PHP / HTML / JavaScript / whatever into WordPress posts/pages. You 
   can download it [here](http://www.myvirtualdisplay.com/2008/09/11/including-free-form-php-into-wordpress/).
 * Note, however, that if you use it to include PHP scripts, they will not be included
   in the PHP sense of the term; rather, the PHP script will run in its separate
   memory space, unrelated to WordPress, and its **output** will be embedded into
   the including post/page. So if you intend to include PHP scripts that rely on
   WordPress’ environment, data, or authentication, you will need to explicitly `
   include()` the proper WordPress files…

 * Hi dudes.
    I’ve included the folowing php code with **[this plugin](http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/)**
   and it has worked OK!
