 * I have an iframe on sidebar.php, and WordPress php code inside of it does not
   seem to work. The code looks something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php $blog_title =  esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) );
       $words = split(' ', $blog_title);
       $actor_name = ucwords($words[0] . ' ' . $words[1]); ?>
       <li><a href="http://www.domain.com/pics/<?=str_replace(' ', '+', $actor_name)?>" target="_blank"><?=$actor_name?> pic search</a></li>
       ```
   
 * Is WordPress php code inside an iframe suppose to work with other code outside
   of this iframe? It looks like it doesnt… Is there any way to get it to work?
 * Thank you.

 * Have you seen the WordPress theme repository [http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/)?
 * Every theme is displayed through an iFrame.

 * So this would mean that the above code should work from within an iframe located
   in sidebar.php (just the way css and html does)?
 * If so, how can I figure out why is it not working?
 * Thank you.
