   Consider downloading and installing Otto's PHP Code Widget.

   It has to start with <?php, not <?. Short forms are not supported.

   Hi, I also (think) I just want to execute a little bit of php code within a widget, and your widget seemed like the perfect thing.

   I'm trying to make a very simple thing, essentially a post counter saying "Now with 400 posts." Your plugin in combination with the wp_count_posts function seemed to be the perfect thing. I installed the plugin, added the Widget to the appropriate sidebar, and pasted the following in after my plain text-

   <?php
   $count_posts = wp_count_posts();
   ?>

   I thought that code would then return a number of posts, but it just leaves a blank space. I freely admit to being a relative novice, and feel like I'm missing something pretty obvious. Any help would be great. Thanks.
