 * i’m trying to add the ‘better image rotator’ from
 * [http://www.alistapart.com/comments/betterrotator/](http://www.alistapart.com/comments/betterrotator/)
 * on to [http://www.rapnews.co.uk](http://www.rapnews.co.uk)
 * as you can see, the command in my sidemenu is showing as code, and not the image.

 * At a guess I would say your host has some security settings that are causing 
   some grief, can you create a new file info.php with the below content and put
   it somewhere we can look at it?
 * `<?php
    phpinfo(); ?>

 * For the next person who runs across this (and possibly only for WP 1.5.x) try
   this:
 * Add a new line 1 to your wp root’s index.php file:
 * 1 `<?php include('rotator.php'); ?>`
    2 `<?php` 3 `/* Short and sweet */` 4 `
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);` 5 `require('./wp-blog-header.php');` 6 `?>`
 * And put rotator.php and images.ini in your wp root as well. This was the only
   way I could get the rotator to work when using `<?php showImage(); ?>` from (
   an embedded location) within a theme.php file.
