I’ve had no problem including scripts in my posts and pages using both Exec-PHP and RunPHP. Have you tried putting in the full path to the script? That’s what I had to do to mine.

I tried using the full path, but no result. I’m not sure if a Textbox Widget counts as a post/page.
Is there something like <RunPHP></RunPHP> to execude the script?
Hrm, now that I think about it, a textbox widget I don’t guess would be covered by the RunPHP/Exec plugins because technically I guess that’s not a page/post.
I’m not entirely clear on how the widgets work, so I’m afraid I’m of little further help to you. 🙁
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could step in?
The text widget it not designed to allow you to use PHP code. I have written a custom plugin to allow me to use PHP in widgets. It may need to be polished a bit, but I can post it seomwhere if it is of interest.

Thanks for the feedback both 🙂
@samsarin: If your widget works I wouldn’t mind testing it out for you.
I have published the Samsarin PHP Widget. I hope you find it useful and would appreciate any suggestions you have about how to make it more useful.

Samsarin, your widget works excellent! It now executes the php script properly. Thanks for the widget you made!
Problem solved now.
You’re most welcome Nyana. I’m glad I could be of help :).
Any possibility of reposing that widget, I’m having the same problem :'(
Would it be safe to deploy on a WPMU site?
please do repost it 🙂
Thanks much! Great widget.
The ExecPHP widget does the same thing and is somewhat simpler to use.
Otto, I am using your php widget in MU. What is happening is the code I insert in the widget is being remove when I save it.
The widget goes blank.
Is this an MU issue? Is there a version of your plugin to work in MU?
Sorry if this has been touched upon but how can I get php code into my created pages? ie: under Manage, Pages, Create new page.
In this new page I would like to reference my Recent Posts utilizing the existing code from my index.php file.
Basically I want to create a “homepage” that isnt the default wordpress page but I’d like it to function the same way and reference certain posts. When I paste the code into the page via wordpress backend it doesn’t work on preview, when I re-open it to edit the page the code is all messed up.
