 * Hi,
 * I wish to display the output of a PHP contents in WordPress page, but I cannot
   do that. I can get it displayed in the sidebar, but not in the page.
 * I am trying to put the “Recent posts” in a separate page in wordpress.
 * Any clues?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * – U

 * I expect reading about [The Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) will help.
 * You’ll also need to link to wp-blog-header.php, something like:
 * `<?php require('wp-blog-header.php'); ?>`
 * Put that before any other code.

 * PS you won’t be able to call that from within a WordPress page. You’ll have to
   make a separate .php file.
 * Although you could probably edit your “page” template to do it, and wrap all 
   the “recent post” code in this:
 * `<?php if is_page('recent') {
    /* code goes here (same as what you put in the
   sidebar, most probably) */ } ?>
 * You could then put that in your content div and create a blank page called “recent”.
   That might work, it’s a start anyway 🙂
