runPHP plugin

If you’re wanting to use some PHP code on your blog, you’re going to need a plugin. If you didn’t know, your text editor can accept plain text and HTML, but not much of anything else. I haven’t used any plugins for PHP except runPHP, but I haven’t really had a need to look for anything different. As far as I know, Blogger, Xanga, and MySpace don’t have the option to add in a plugin for PHP. Wordpress and Typepad do, though.

In Wordpress installation is pretty simple. 1.) Download the plugin. 2.) Upload the folder to your plugins folder 3.) Activate the plugin from your Plugins menu. Now you can paste PHP code into a post or page and something should show up. Other plugins you setup may require runPHP because they utilize some PHP code. I found an archives plugin a while back that required runPHP to also be installed.
