 * When I activated this plugin and created a shortcut, I wasn’t able to get my 
   PHP code to run, instead, I got a php error:
 * > Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /*******/wp-content/plugins/shortcode-
   > exec-php/shortcode-exec-php-class.php(893) : eval()’d code on line 1
 * How come?

 * The means the PHP code you entered contains an error, which you’ll have to fix.
   Please note that the PHP start and end tag shouldn’t be included.
