How to add PHP scripts to WordPress posts and pages!

Including a PHP script in your WordPress Post or a Page as compared to in Sidebar Widget is possible. All you need to do is install a wordpress plugin which makes execution of PHP possible. In my case I installed a plugin called PHP Execution. I can now include any PHP script within a post or page. I was able to install a small PHP script in the Header.php which displays current time and date at the top of the template. Here is how you can implement it. Goto Header.php and insert this small PHP code:

<?php
print strftime(‘%c’);
?>

NOTE: Installing this plugin (and any other PHP execution plugin) is an open invitation to hackers as they can post scripts as comments. Please know what you are doing before installing.

Internet running out of IP addresses and Email addresses

Internet will run out of IP addresses by next year. That means you will no longer be able to create new email ids or domain names for websites. The Internet currently runs on Internet Protocol version 4 (IP 4). IP 4 is a 32 bit number and can hold 4,294,967,296 IP addresses. If this number runs out you will no longer be able to create new ones. Experts say that these numbers will soon be exhausted (as early as next year). Measures are being taken and the new IP 6 protocol which can hold trillions of IP addresses is under testing. However, it will be an expensive transformation from IP 4 to IP 6. A simple solution is to shutdown/reallocate inactive domains and email addresses. However it is a tedious task and doesn’t go down well. (This post is to just let the common man know that this IP address situation is a certainly and to prevent people from being surprised/shocked or caught unaware. Please spread the word.)
