 * Firstly, apologies for my continually posting here..
    Further to my last post
   about no php plugins working. I have discovered that even though I have say the
   exec-php plugin installed, it is not showing in the widgets avialable section?
   Something to do with no php code executing..? Thanks if you can help

 * the exec-php plugin does not create a widget.
    it has however some requirements
   for user capabilities and some settings – refer to the plugin documentation and/
   or the links the plugin provides in the setup area.

 * try to change to the Twenty Ten theme to exclude any theme related causes.
 * to exclude any interference by other plugins, try and disable all other plugins
   than the ‘exec-php’ and whatever is definitely needed to run the php codes;
    
   if this solves the problem, re-activate one plugin at the time, to find out which
   was causing the problem.
 * where are you trying to add the php code – pages, posts, textwidgets?
    are you
   using the html editor mode?

 * Yes I have been through the documentation and have made all the suggested changes.
   I have tried switching themes, and deactivating all plugins then reactivating
   only the exec-php one..
    I have tried to place code everywhere.. I am not sure
   what you mean by using the html editior, when applying code to a page for example
   I just place it in the text editor.. which has had the visual element deactivated..

 * Hi again..
    I just tried again placing php code in a txt box inside a sidebar
   widget and was able to get the code to run.. So it seems that maybe only php 
   code in pages is not working
