Include php code on static page using GP sections ... ?

Hi,
Just a quick question, and again I apologise if it's been asked or answered before! I'm creating a static landing page using the GP sections plugin and was wondering how I go about including the most recent blog post in one of the sections? I've tried adding the following code but it essentially comments the php out.
<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=1&category=3');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
?>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi there,
WordPress doesn't allow for PHP to be executed through the content editor.
You might be better off using something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/
Then you can use a shortcode to display your most recent blog posts :)
Hi Tom,
Ah, that would explain a lot! :)
Thanks for the pointer to the plugin. I'd actually had a look at that one as well as this one - - which also includes shortcodes and ability to customise with CSS. Will have a bit more of a play with both and see what I can do.
Once again thanks for your quick response!
Cheers,

Hrmm ... stripped the link to the other plugin for some reason. Here 'tis again - Recent Posts Widget Extended
Thanks!
That's a good one as well, but requires a widget area unless you use a plugin like "Widget Shortcode".
