# php inside a post?

 * Hi. I’d like to use a php ‘include’ inside the body of my post. So for example,
   I’d like to say:
 * <?php include(‘file.php’) ?>
 * inside my post. But when I try doing this, WP immediately changes the <?php to
   <? php, invalidating it as php code…and it the only thing that shows up in the
   post body is this:
 * <? php include(‘file.php’) ?>
 * Is there a way to accomplish what I want (i.e. use php statements within a post
   body)?
 * Thanks,
    Amir

 * Surprised that you did not also come up with QuickPHP during your initial searching
   of the forum.

 * Hah, failing memory (getting older 🙂
    it’s PHP Exec I was thinking of [http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/03/02/wordpress-php-exec-plugin/](http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/03/02/wordpress-php-exec-plugin/)
