 * You really can’t put PHP to execute using that editor.
 * If you just want to display the code, there are many good syntax highlighters
   that make the code readable in a page or post.
 * This is the one I use, there are many others.

 * If that PHP code is for executing, you may want to create a custom page template.

 * Or if it’s something more dynamic, try creating a shortcode so that the PHP gets
   executed when/where the shortcode is.
