[wp-hackers] execPHP question

[Claude Needham]

The actually insert does not use <?php etc. does it?
If you are doing your insert something like:

[?php global $post; ?]

[?php echo ("postid=" . $post->ID ); ?]

I would experiment with the following insert:

[?php global $post; echo ("postid=" . $post->ID ); ?]
