I found very useful wordpress plugin for that. But my advise is don’t use this plugin ever try to put your php code as possible in wordpress theme.

Inline PHP

The plugin can execute php string in posts/pages, and display the output as the contents of posts/pages. Just quote what you want to execute in <exec>...</exec> or [exec]...[/exec] tag.

You can put the php code in post following way.

       $filestr = file_get_contents('http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-update-list.html');
       if (preg_match('/</pre>
.*<\/p>/ums', $filestr, $matches)){
           echo str_replace("

<a href="\&quot;#page-rank-update-list-history\&quot;">Top of Page Rank Update List History</a>
<pre>", "", str_replace("", "", $matches[0]));
       }
