I basically wanted to do the exact same thing and I posted the same
question a few days ago ... the answer I was given is that for
security reasons you can't include PHP in any editable page, whether
you are sysop or not (someone please tell me I am wrong?? ;) )

That being said, I thought of two other options:

1. Using a flash movie to pull the php data and display it.
2. Tinker with the php in the page generation files directly. 

I haven't had time yet to fully explore either option, but that's all
I can help you with for now!
