     9 Like the Text widget, but also allows working PHP code to be inserted.

    10 

    11 == Description ==

    12 

    13 The normal Text widget allows you to insert arbitrary Text and/or HTML code. 

    14 This allows that too, but also parses any inserted PHP code and executes it. 

    15 This makes it easier to migrate to a widget-based theme.

    16 

    17 All PHP code must be enclosed in the standard <?php and ?> tags for it to be 

    18 recognized.

    20 WARNING: Upgrading to 2.0 from 1.2 may cause loss of your existing widgets.

    21 Copy the code you have in them elsewhere first, then recreate your widgets

    22 afterwards.

    23 

    24 == Installation ==

    25 

    26 1. Upload `execphp.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory

    27 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

    28 1. Use the widget like any other widget.

    30 == Frequently Asked Questions ==

    31 

    32 = There's some kind of error on line 43! =

    33 

    34 That error means that your PHP code is incorrect or otherwise broken. 

    35 

    36 = No, my code is fine! =

    37 

    38 No, it's not. 

    39 

    40 Really. 

    41 

    42 This widget has no bugs, it's about the simplest widget one can possibly 

    43 make. Any errors coming out of the "execphp,php" file are errors in code you 

    44 put into one of the widgets. The reason that it shows the error being in the

    45 execphp.php file is because that is where your code is actually being run

    46 from.

    47 

    48 So, if it says that you have an error on line 43, I assure you, the problem 

    49 is yours. Please don't email me about that error.
