 * Hi there,
 * I want to know how to insert a php script from an external website into mine.
   I thought this would work, but it doesn’t.
 * <?php include (require(‘[http://www.example.com/example.php&#8217](http://www.example.com/example.php&#8217););?
   >
 * Any ideas? Thanks…

 * Include and require? You just need either.

 * I have discovered that the post strips out the php code, so I am trying out the
   plugin [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages).

 * Hmmm, that did not work. The plugin was installed, but I still could not include
   that external code. Any ideas?

 * “Did not work”, sorry, what testing method are you using to check whether it’s
   working?

 * Ok I am inserting the code into the post, e.g.
    [php] require(‘[http://www.example.com/example.php&#8217](http://www.example.com/example.php&#8217););[/
   php]
 * Saving, then going to the frontend, refreshing and then checking the source code.
   It is still stripped out from the post.

 * Write this;
 *     ```
       [php] var_dump(require('http://www.example.com/example.php'));exit;  [/php]
       ```
   
 * And see whether it returns true or false;
