How to add PHP tags to blogs

Hey guys i've found out how to add php tags and hence examples to the blog. We just have to replace the '<' symbol in tags with a '<' statement, which will render the '<' symbol for us. Its as easy as that. The problem is that google or blogspot server supports the php and hence when i quote examples, they were actually parsing it, i.e, executing the php code. So in order to prevent that we'll render the '<' symbol in the other way, and presto it works. Also put the examples within a <pre> </pre>, it will show the examples as a code-fragment(i.e, in that style).
Now i'll quote more php examples in the blog.
