 * Trying to pass a url to curl within the Custom PHP field and keep getting errors
   on execution. Not sure how to interpret the field instructions “You must put 
   your >?php tag to initiate PHP where you want it used”. I do see your script 
   runs an eval function against the code snippet but unsure what php tags should
   surround the code. Could you provide an example? Here is the kind of thing I 
   have been trying:
 * `<?php curl "http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/plugin/script.php"; ?>`
