 * I am inserting a fairly complicated bit of code into a phpcode widget.
 * After I save the changes, the admin screen gets messed up from the point of that
   installed widget on.. I have to go into mysql and delete the widget_execphp option
   to be able to make any changes.
 * The code executes correctly, and the proper output appears on the browser when
   the blog is accessed. The problem is in the widget admin screen.
 * The code I am inserting is:
 * <?php if (!isset($OA_context)) $OA_context = array();
    $oaXmlRpc = new OA_XmlRpc(‘
   adserver.xxxxxxxxxxx.net’, ‘/www/delivery/axmlrpc.php’, 0, false, 15); $adArray
   = $oaXmlRpc->view(‘zone:9’, 0, ”, ”, 0, $OA_context); echo $adArray[‘html’]; ?
   >
 * I’ve looked at the code, and cannot see why this would trash the admin screen(
   php code widget is missing, displays only the title:
 *  %BEG_OF_TITLE%Information%END_OF_TITLE%
 * and the save changes button does not appear.

 * I am seeing a similar situation. I was getting %BEG_OF_TITLE%Most Popular Articles%
   END_OF_TITLE%, but I had a Popularity Contest plugin. All but two of the plugins
   in my second sidebar disappeared, along with the Save Changes button. Up until
   I tried adding a text (php) widget, it worked well. Now it says that I’m still
   using the widgets, but they do not appear in the widget admin area, nor on my
   site.
 * I have tried disabling all Popularity Contest plugins, but the problem remains.
