 * i was wondering if there was any way to call <?php include > code inside of an
   entry. i tried just typing the code in and also using ascii codes for symbols
   but it in the entry it just comes out as the actual text “<?php include … >. 
   this would be really useful for me, so if it’s possible, any help would be appreciated.
   thanks!

 * That would be a pretty huge security hole. No plans to allow this.

 * Right, there are many issues (security and technical) in trying to get php code
   to run inside a post entry.
    That said, one way you _could_ do it is by including
   an <iframe> in your post. ` <iframe src="someotherfile.php" width="95%"> [text
   here for browsers that don't support iframe] </iframe>  Then you put your php
   code into ‘someotherfile.php’.
