 * I am having a problem with my single.php understanding variables defined in a
   post.
 * For Example:
 * I have made a post using Exec-PHP and include something like
    `<?php $background
   = "yes"; ?>`
 * Then in my single.php I have a code like
 *     ```
       <?php
       if($background == "yes")
       echo "test";
       ?>
       ```
   
 * For some reason the single.php does not understand what the variable $background
   is. Am I doing something wrong?
