I will give an example. Take for instance the NASA picture of the day , or the Google news Widget , they will run perfectly as a Widget . Now I want these Widgets, or there content , the PHP program that is , to run on a page . I know that there are a few Widgets that allows you to run PHP code , in a page or post , I could use them to execute the PHP code . Taking the contents of the PHP file for NASA and inserting it in a page (with the help of those plug ins) will not work , since the PHP code of the NASA widget is intended to work as a widget . But I want to run it inside a page … How can it be done ??? Cheers.
