Installation

1. Download PHP-in-Posts.

3. Enable the plugin within your blog’s administration options.
4. All done!

Syntax

To include PHP code within your posts, simply wrap the code within a [php] tag. For example, the following entry…

This is the year [php]echo date('Y');[/php].

…will produce…

This is the year 2010.

You can even include code which spans multiple lines. For example, the following entry…

[php]
echo 'Your IP address is ';
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
[/php]

…will produce…

Your IP address is 38.107.191.90

Additionally, if you simply wish to echo the value of a global variable or constant there is a short-hand format you can use. For example, the following entry…

The database for this blog resides on [php:DB_HOST].

…will produce…

The database for this blog resides on localhost.

Pre-defined global variables – e.g. $_SERVER[..] are not currently supported in this short-hand syntax.

Options

On the PHP-in-Posts options page in the administration interface you can set the minimum user level required to include PHP code in entries. If a user’s level doesn’t meet the minimum value then the PHP-in-Posts plug-in will not process their entries.

Since allowing users to execute arbitrary PHP code within their entries is potentially dangerous, the default level is set to the highest value according to the available user roles (usually ‘Administrator’).
