 * There’s a few plugins like
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-exec-php/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-exec-php/)
 * But just for info ive seen a few cases where the code fails.
 * The best way really is a custom page template, or shortcode, depending what you
   need

 * Well basically, I just need 1 page where it has my current theme in, with a PHP
   form on it. I’ve already coded the PHP form but have no way of getting it in 
   a page.

 * Unfortunately, forms is where that plugin usually fails the most
 * Best way to add your form is to make a copy of page.php, place your code right
   under the_content on that new file, name the file whatever you want.
 * Then at the top of the file add
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Template Name: Whatever
       */
       ?>
       ```
   
 * And you have a template. Simply make a new page through the add new interface
   in WP, and assigne your new template to that page from the attributes menu

 * Normally, you can only choose custom templates on WP _pages_ (not on posts). 
   So another way to do this is to create your own shortcode and run your code that
   way, but that takes some custom coding…
