 * has anyone included a Feeddigest rss feed in WordPress using the php include 
   they supply, rather than the javascript code they supply?
 * js works, but I’m not a coder so I don’t know how to hack in the php – if it 
   can even be done.
 * other threads on using js appear here btw:

 * hi bluecorn
 * have you ever grown blue corn.
    it’s fun to see. it’s called “ornamental corn”:
   most of the kernals are golden yellow, dark red and the occasional bluish kernal.
 * re: feeddigest
    i have placed the php code in my sidebar and it works beautifully.
   but i do not want it in the sidebar. i want it in my posts. so i put the php 
   code in the posts and it does not work. and i put the javascript in the posts
   and it does not work.
 * i would be happy with any code i can get to work in the posts.
 * you mentioned in you post that js works for you.
    “js works, but I’m not a co”
 * can you tell me how to get it to work?
 * i am using wordpress 2.0.2
    with jakarta 5.1 template [http://50centpoll.com/fabradio/](http://50centpoll.com/fabradio/)
 * my code is below
    any assistance would be greatly appreciated. alto

 * hi bluecorn
    i posted a second time yet it has not shown up. this is a third 
   post.
 * eureka!
    i can get the js to work in POSTS on my other wordpress – it is a wordpress
   1.5 jakarta
 * i still cannot get the php to work in POST
    on wordpress 1.5 with either jakarta
   or default or classic.
 * i will keep trying different things.
    how did you go with your wordpress.
 * did you get the php code to work in your POSTS?
    what wordpress version are you
   using? and theme? is the theme the original code or have you changed it? alto

 * If you want to put PHP code into actual posts, you need the Exec-PHP Plugin.

 * otto42:
    thankyou i will download exec-PHP 2.0 and use it with my WP 2.0
 * you have 4 versions mentioned in [http://www.soeren-weber.net/post/2005/08/18/50/](http://www.soeren-weber.net/post/2005/08/18/50/)
 * QUESTION FOR OTTO
    Which exec-PHP Version do you recommend i use in WP 1.5.1.3?
 * alto
 * Version 1.0: Plugin
    Feature: Allows <?php ?> tags inside your posts and pages
   to execute the code inside of it
 * Version 1.1: Plugin
    Bugfix: Escaped string delimiters in PHP strings are now
   parsed correctly
 * Version 1.2: Plugin
    Bugfix: Reparing issue with reopening PHP tags (Test #16)
 * Version 2.0: Plugin
    Feature: For WP 2.0 execution of PHP is now restricted to
   Administrators or Editors Supporting alternative PHP tags [?php ?]

 * latest email from peter cooper
 * Yeah, I’ve been playing with my new blog ( http://
    [http://www.rubyinside.com/](http://www.rubyinside.com/))
   and the integration went okay. I think maybe there are certain places you simply
   cannot put it. One problem I experienced, however, is that I couldn’t put two
   digests after each other using the PHP.. so I just used a JavaScript one and 
   a PHP one next to each other, which was okay.. Very odd though!

 * > hi peter
    > QUESTION > do you mean that you put the scripts in the new post?
   > or did you put them in the sidebar.php?
 * I put them into sidebar.php, but my sidebar.php is heavily changed
    because I
   have redesigned my site.

 * That’s for if you want to embed PHP code into your posts (rather than
    the layout).
   If you want to do this, then it’s a good solution to use the plugin. Thanks for
   letting me know!
