 * Hi,
    I’m using the following code in my excerpts field: `<div class="img-shadowright"
   > <img src="FILENAME GOES HERE" alt="www.planetphillip.com" /></div><div class
   ="clearer">&nbsp;</div>TEXT GOES HERE&nbsp;&nbsp;` I want to replace the link
   ref with something like this: `<?php the_ID(); ?>` but it doesn’t work, does 
   anybody have any ideas? TIA Phillip [http://www.planetphillip.com](http://www.planetphillip.com)

 * If I understand you correctly – php code placed in the excerpt and the content
   will not run. You’ll probably need to write a filter to do the work for you.
