Based on kukukuan's Inline PHP<\/a>, this plugin allows you to embed and run PHP code in posts, pages or widgets* with a WordPress shortcode.<\/p>\n\n

(* Requires a shortcode enabled widget plugin, such as Section Widget<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n

Usage<\/h4>\n\n

The plugin provides two pairs of shortcodes - [php]code[\/php]<\/code> and [echo]code[\/echo]<\/code>. these two pairs of shortcodes resembles the functionality of the <?php code ?><\/code> and <?= code ?><\/code> tags in a normal PHP script, respectively.<\/p>\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n

The answer to the <em>ultimate<\/em> math challenge, <strong>1+2<\/strong>, is...\n[php]\n  $a = 1;\n  $b = 2;\n\n  echo $a + $b;\n[\/php]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Will become:<\/p>\n\n
The answer to the <em>ultimate<\/em> math challenge, <strong>1+2<\/strong>, is...\n3\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
The [echo]<\/code> tag will automatically print the returned value of the first expression. Therefore, [echo]some_function()[\/echo]<\/code> is essentially equivalent to [php]echo some_function()[\/php]<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n
Some Important Notes<\/h4>\n\n
** This plugin will change the priority of the do_shortcode<\/code> filter. If you are experiencing any conflict with other shortcode plugins, please disable the plugin and report the problem in the forums. **<\/p>\n\n
Although I said the shortcode pairs resembles a <?php code ?><\/code> tag pair, there is an important difference. The PHP code in the shortcodes are executed in a \"throw-away\" local namespace, instead of the global one. All variables defined in a [php] code [\/php]<\/code> block cannot<\/strong> be accessed outside the block. Therefore, this will not work:<\/p>\n\n
[php]\n  $a = 1;\n  $b = 2;\n[\/php]\n\nThe answer to the <em>ultimate<\/em> math challenge, <strong>1+2<\/strong>, is... [echo]$a+$b[\/echo]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
And neither would this:<\/p>\n\n
[php]\n  $my_array = array('apple','orange');\n\n  foreach($my_array as $fruit):\n[\/php]\n\nI like [echo]$fruit[\/echo]\n\n[php]endforeach;[\/php]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
To work around the first problem, you may use the global<\/code> keyword:<\/p>\n\n
[php]\n  global $a, $b;\n  $a = 1;\n  $b = 2;\n[\/php]\n\nThe answer to the <em>ultimate<\/em> math challenge, <strong>1+2<\/strong>, is... [php]global $a, $b; echo $a+$b[\/php]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
And to work around the second problem, you may use \"real\" PHP closing tags within your [php] code [\/php]<\/code> block to switch between PHP and HTML mode:<\/p>\n\n
[php]\n  $my_array = array('apple','orange');\n\n  foreach($my_array as $fruit):\n?>\n\nI like <?php echo $fruit; ?>\n\n<?php\n  endforeach;\n[\/php]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
(Yes, it is a bit weird... you'd probably want to avoid doing that if possible.)<\/p>\n\n\n
