   Hello dear all,
   My case is as follows:

   I have a "Text" widget containing HTML code.

   I also run a MySQL server, and get above mentioned HTML code from a database by just running a query (the code is stored as text in a database cell).

   What I want to do is to set up my HTML widget so as it would get that code (or at least some part of it) directly from MySQL database.
   So when I change the code in the database, it would change automatically in the widget.

   Thank you for reading,
   I would appreciate any suggestions or hints from you.

   What I tried to do is to embed a PHP code into HTML.

   But it seems like WordPress interprets it as HTML, not as PHP.

   Is there a way to embed PHP?
   Or is there any other way out?

   You would effectively need to build a custom widget/plugin.
