 * Dear wordpress users,
 * Does any of you have any experience with using PHP code inside posts? I tried
   two plug ins that completely messed up a post with some code (In WordPress 2.01)
   which syntax was absolutely correct.
 * Any suggestion?

 * Sorry, I should have said “My French is crêpe”.
 * Yes, I tried all sorts of things like changing permalinks to add a “.php” to 
   all links to make it possible to pass variables.
 * For example, I want to do this:
 * 1) Pass a variable for “name” on a URL in my blog like [http://localhost/blog/posts/my-post.php?name=Jean-Francois](http://localhost/blog/posts/my-post.php?name=Jean-Francois)
 * 2) Embedded in my Post or Page is a short bit of PHP code that grabs that variable“?
   name=Jean-Francois” and displays the name.
 * Simple. It works of course in flat PHP/HTML, but using WP causes problems. I 
   am stumped.

 * Hmm. That works for me. I use blabla.com/?page_id=1&thing=2&id=34322, and this
   in the code:
 * `$thing = $_GET["thing"];
    $id = $_GET["id"];
 * I only use it on static pages, but that shouldn’t make a difference I think.

 * Or this plugin?
 * CG-QuickPHP

 * Thanks Michael, was just about to post a link myself! 😉
 * QuickPHP is really targeted for single function calls or include statements (
   it does one ‘method’, with a parenthesized parameter list), constant arguments.
   But including a php script is then really easy, or calling a function (like any
   basic WP func..).
 * I use it for embedding things like CG-FeedRead feeds, or wacky CG-Amazon stuff(
   since CG-Inline already has an amazon tag).

 * Ahhh, relief. Got it to work. My stupid stupid problem was that I failed to tick
   the little “run PHP code?” box on the Write Post and Write Page area. Stupid 
   me. Ok, now it’s done and it works. Ah!
 * Stupid me…

 * Well, hey…. at least you got it working now. And thanks VERY much for posting
   back, so the next poor soul can (maybe – since goddess only knows how long search
   will be broke herein) find the help heesh needs….

 * No problem… but it took me a DAY to figure out that I forgot to tick that darn
   box. I am still shaking my head. I didn’t sleep well last night because of it.
   Stupid stupid mistake.
 * Yes, runPHP works very well for passing variables. I have not tried any of the
   other PHP addons, but assume they work well too.
