You can directly call a widget on header from admin panel create widget page.

Just click on Add Layout Update button and select page you want to display on from Display On dropdown,(here if you want to display on all page then select All Pages), then from Block Reference select Page Header (Or Page header with position) and then from Widget Options select your static block. Save the widget and check on frontend after clean cache.

• Piyush: did you tried other option of header like Page Header, Primary, Central Column and Page Header, Primary, Left Column etc?
• Ketan Borada: yes but i want php code to display
• Piyush: I didn't get your point
• Ketan Borada: i mean i cant call exactly where i want by this method i want php code
