It is working perfect. I am using it to get the latest posts from my phpBB forum. However, I had to re-install the forum and the widget went crazy. I cannot access my php code in the widget as the code corrupted my widget section in the admin panel. Is there a .php file where my code I entered in the widget is stored, so that I can edit it. As I have no more access to the widget/code from WP-Admin. I can deactivate the plug-in an all is working again but I would like to use it. I tried to override the execphp with a fresh file but the plugin still remembers my code. Where can I edit it ? That is a great plug in. It is working perfect.

Fantastic! I had problems getting WordTube to work as a widget (wanted multiple songs listed, not just one), and couldn't get the multi-version to go into a sidebox. Your widget did the trick :) Now I just have to figure out why anything under the widget is way out of alignment (like off the bottom). Cheers! Cheers Otto! Fantastic!

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.
