 * which errors do you get exactly ?
    Are you using the following code ? ` function
   run_php($data) { if(false !== strpos($data, "<php>")) { $data = str_replace(array("\
   r\n","\r"), "\n", $data); $datas = split('</?php>', $data); $data = "echo <<<
   WP_PHP_PARSER0\n" . str_replace(array("\\","\$","\n","\r"), array("\\\\","\\\
   $","\\n","\\r"), $datas[0]); $j = 0; for($i = 1; $i < count($datas); $i += 2){
   $data .= "\nWP_PHP_PARSER$j;\n" . str_replace(array('’', '“', '”'), array("'",'"','"'),
   $datas[$i]); $j++; $data .= "echo <<<WP_PHP_PARSER$j\n" . str_replace(array("\\","\
   $","\n","\r"), array("\\\\","\\\$","\\n","\\r"), $datas[$i+1]); } $data .= "\
   nWP_PHP_PARSER$j;\n return true;"; ob_start(); // run that data and grab what
   comes out if(! eval($data)){ $fp = fopen($DOCUMENT_ROOT."wp-php.txt", 'w'); fwrite(
   $fp, $data); fclose($fp); } $data = ob_get_clean(); } return $data; } add_filter('
   the_content', 'run_php');
