 * Hello,
 * Instead of HTML, would it work if I pasted a php code?

 * Sorry to disappoint you, but writing PHP code wouldn’t work.
 * Though you can add some custom plugin or add your code in theme’s `functions.
   php` file and add a shortcode to your function, something like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       function hello_world() {
           // Your PHP Code
           return 'Hello World';
       }
       add_shortcode( 'hello-world', 'hello_world' );
       ```
   
 * and then you can use `[hello-world]` as shortcode in the menu, whatever that 
   function will return, will be placed in the menu.
