Note: The ExecPHP widget does not work in the upcoming WordPress 2.5. Therefore, if you upgrade to 2.5, you will need to install the updated version of this widget. It can be found here, now and forever more: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/
A new plugin for WordPress came out that’s kinda cool. It’s called Widgets, and the general idea of it is to make the sidebars on your blog a bit more configurable, a bit more easily.
So, I decided to spend an hour or so converting my sidebars to Widgets so I could manage them a bit simpler. Editing PHP code is easy but time consuming, while dragging stuff and dropping it to rearrange the blog, well, that’s quick and easy.
Few things I learned:
- The Widgets Plugin does not like Windows. Since I run this site on a Windows box (edit: I did then, I don’t anymore, and anyway, they have fixed this problem since then), it needed some tweaking to make it work. For those who want to know, the problem is in the sidebar_admin_setup() function in widgets.php. More info on this problem is in the comments of this post.
- Text boxes are extremely useful when converting from your existing customized webpage to a widgets based one, as you can simply cut and paste chunks of HTML into them and voila, you’ve got a sidebar widget. However, there’s not a lot of text widgets available. If you need more text widgets, you will need to edit these functions: widget_text_setup(), widget_text_page(), and widget_text_register(). As it turned out, I didn’t need but 4 text widgets because:
- Despite how useful text boxes were for a quick migration, they were not enough.
So, I ended up writing two plugins of my own.
The first one is a Google AdSense plugin. You can download it here: gadsense.zip. It’s exactly the same as the Text widgets, but with (very) minor tweaks specifically for inserting Google Ads in the sidebars. Also, it shows a name of “Google AdSense” in the widgets panel, which is nice. Like the Text widget, you can have more than 1 of them, but unlike the Text widget, you can only have 4 of them, since Google’s TOS only allows 3 ads and 1 link block on a page.
The next one is also like the Text plugin, however it will also let you put PHP code into the text and have it actually work. Here’s the download: execphp.zip. Like the Text plugin, you can have up to 9 of them (more if you want to tweak the code). Note that any PHP code you put into the widget MUST be surrounded by <?php and ?> tags, just like writing PHP normally. Also note that this is isn’t exactly safe, as it’s just doing an eval() on whatever you put in there, so you have complete and full access, as does anybody else who can get to your admin screen. Still, it’s very useful.
Both of those are plugins. Just drop them in the widgets folder under the plugins folder, and activate them on the plugins screen. Then the widgets will be available for you to use on the widgets screen.
Hope these help somebody. They sure helped me.

execphp is a great little plugin! You can see the Categories block I created with it on my left sidebar at potluck.com — it shows only the top level items, no subcategories, just what I’d wanted.
I wonder, though — on the “Potluck Creative Arts” page and all its subpages, I’d love for an image to show up *instead* of the Category block. I tried this:
“;
} else {
echo “Categories” . wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=ID&children=0&list=1&hide_empty=0′) . “”;
} ?>
…and I got close. The image shows up correctly on the appropriate pages instead of the category block. However, on all other pages/posts, the category block goes crazy — instead of showing up the way it does right now on the site, the “Categories” heading appears at the very bottom, below all the category items, and each category item is formatted as if it were its own little sidebar block, with the graphic outline. Looks terrible! Any idea what I could do, or is that just too much a general php/CSS question for me to ask here w/r/t to the execphp plugin?
I realized that the code I’d put in my last comment didn’t come through in tact. In any case, I suspect it’s beside the point. The real question may be this: Would it be possible to alter the execphp widget so that it included conditionality? E.g., in addition to the title and code boxes that currently exist, there could be another box at top which allowed the option of attaching conditional code. If left blank, the widget would function as it does now. If filled it, the conditions would be assessed, and only if true woud the box then be added, again just as it works now, but if the conditions proved false, then no box would be added to the sidebar at all. This would probably solve everything I need, and it would open up a world of possibility for this widget’s usage!

would you mind taking a look at this thread over at wordpress support to see if you have any insight for me?

Otto, Thank you so much for coming over to wordpress/support to help me with my question. Your answer worked perfectly. I’ll put it here too in case anyone is having trouble with Top Commentators or Popularity Contest formatting.
Here was Otto’s response:
You need to edit that widget and add and around the function call that you’re making. Why? Because the html it’s creating has each link inside of an li tag, but you don’t have a list around those for the li tags to make sense.
Just edit the widget and change this:

Executable PHP widget seems to screw the sidebar up in IE 7. No problem in Firefox. Using WordPress 2.2. Makes the bottom half of the sidebar move to the opposite side and not lined up. Using default theme.
Here is the code I put in the widget
‘ . __(‘Pages’) . ” ); ?>
Steven: The PHP widget is basically identical to the Text widget. It cannot “screw up” anything by itself.
It’s certainly possible for the code you use to do something like that though. So I’d suggest changing your code.
Well… duh!
Nevermind, I deleted and reloaded the plugin and it works as advertised.
Getting this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/.dino/chutney/makingchutney.com/wp-content/plugins/execphp.php(24) : eval()'d code on line 1sry – this is the whole code, removed the php tags at start and end to get it in the post…

@chutney: Something is wrong with the PHP code you put into the widget. That’s what causes that error.
@rogilvie: I can’t tell you what’s wrong with your code, exactly. The widget itself doesn’t modify anything or produce any real output of its own. If it’s breaking the page, it’s your code that is doing it, somehow.

All the files in the WordPress directory must have at least 444 permissions, most likely, but that’s normal for WordPress.
Otto, not attempting to edit the widget file. That’s what’s odd. I just add the PHP widget to my sidebar, put some code in it, and get the following message

Strange. The widgets file is showing a permission of 644.
I know I am doing something wrong somewhere but just don’t know what. Any suggestions? By the way, I get an odd “you cannot write to such and such directory” for some other admin items,too. Not a pattern. There must be a permission screwed up somewhere along the way.

Hi Otto, I write at montrealtechwatch.com
I used the phpcode to pull most commented posts. however, I noticed that if you add another php code widget, for another php function, it displays the exactly the same thing, i.e. the results from the first php code 1 widget. looked at the database, and it stores both php code in the wp_options row. i don’t know now where to look at.
????
Heri: You are using an older or incorrect version of Widgets. The version of Widgets that was included in the first release of Widgets in the core code had this problem. It was patched for subsequent releases of WordPress.
In other words, update WordPress to the latest version (2.2.2 as of this writing) and the problem will go away.

Hi Otto,
I’m currently using 2.3 Beta 3 of WP and am getting the following error when I try to insert my FAlbum php script to display 4 random photos:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/.valenzuela/dcelis/david.sebastiancelis.com/wp-content/plugins/execphp.php(24) : eval()’d code on line 1
Is this compatability issues with Beta 3, or is something wrong just happening?
David,
No, ExecPHP is perfectly compatible with Beta 3, something’s just wrong with the code you put into the widget. Because your code executes in the context of the execphp plugin, any error in your own PHP code causes the error to appear to come from the plugin. But the key here is that the error is in the “eval()’d code”. Your own code is the code that’s being “eval()’d”.
Sorry, I know that that doesn’t help much, but it’ll tell you where to look at least.

I wish I had this plugin sooner for one of my clients! Thanks a lot for doing all this work Otto! Great plugin, works as advertised.
I’m having a problem with IE7/Opera and the Exec-PHP (4.2) plugin on latest wordpress 2.3.1. In firefox, it works gloriously. In IE7 and Opera, however, if anything is BELOW the widget containing the php code, the alignment goes to hell and everything is screwy. Im using the cutline 3.1 theme and the widget in question is Star Ratings for Reviews 0.4.
The workaround is to put the Exec-PHP widget as the last widget on the sidebar, but obviously in this case that’s not where I want it to be. =)
I’ve seen you state that it’s the PHP code, but I imagine I dont get why it would work in firefox then. Of course it’s a superior browser, but.. heh.
Thanks for all your hard work! Let me know if you have any ideas.
Without knowing the specific PHP code you’re putting in the widget, I cannot tell you what the problem is. However, it’s absolutely certain that it’s the code you’re putting into the widget. The ExecPHP widget is like the Text widget: by itself, it does absolutely nothing. It’s just a container for your own code.
I suggest running your site through the W3C validator. If your code is valid, it will likely show up correctly in all browsers. If your code is invalid, then it won’t. That’s sort of the point of validation.

Yes, having the same problem as Chewru Guru with 2.3.1 wordpress…. any ideas??? I’ve used this plugin for many other sites with older versions of wp just fine.
Brooke: The plugin works perfectly well with 2.3.1, there’s nothing wrong with it. You need to understand that by itself, the PHP widget does nothing of importance. Any code that is created on your page is created by the PHP you put into the widget. If it’s broken, then either your code is broken or the theme is broken.
Otto: Bruce was having a problem with “permissions” with widgets.php. I had a similar problem stating “Method not implemented – POST to /wp-admin/widgets.php”. I suspect others are having similar problems.
The problem was that the “ModSecurity” module in Apache was detecting what it though was a “PHP Injection Attack” when posting (submitting) the php code in your widget. (Normally you would not want a visitor to your website to post php code that would be executed.)
My (crappy) solution was to turn off (comment out) that part (2 lines) of the modsecurity, submit the php widget, then re-enable the modsecurity. It means you have to have access to your Apache config while making changes to the php widget code, OR you need to permanently disable the modsecurity — NOT a good idea!
But if you don’t update the PHP widget code very often, temporarily disabling the modsecurity while submitting the code works okay.
A possible work-around: Do as described above to submit a php code widget that is simply a PHP include command. Then modify the separate php file using FTP, vi, or whatever appropriate tools you have.
Otherwise, after a little digging through error logs and other messing around, the widget works as advertised. THANKS!

I too had the problem with the code messing up in IE. It was not a php code problem. In the plugin file I had to add a right after the div class execphpwidget. Now everything works beautifully in IE.
I knew it wasn’t the code because all of the various codes I tried from half a different plugins messed up the sidebar. 6 plugin writers couldn’t write php code snippets that poorly in my opinion.
Glad it’s fixed. Hope this works for someone else!
AllyAnderson: No, I’m sorry, but there is no problem whatsoever with the PHP Code widget. The exephpwidget DIV is coded correctly, and everything inside that DIV is generated by the PHP code that you type into the widget!

Ok, nothing to do with execphp. Why this confusion ? Because the problem occured when i activated execphp … If you have a dispaly problem with IE (or any other browser but Firefox seems less touchy) when adding a widget with a plugin, you should test adding a built-in wordpress widget at the same place … Correlation is not causality, old story … ;o) Thanks for your time.
