You can use PHP code only in PHP files or in Templates, not in any text fields of content elements, modules, articles etc.

As Spooky says, and you can import PHP into the BE e.g. into the RTE with an insert tag

Code:

---

{{file::myPHP.html5}}
{{file::myPHP.php}}

ps My FF 39 did not scroll to the anchor #include-elements, chrome does. Don't know why.
