A nice simple way would be to use view-source("page.php")

Only way I can think is to use str_replace, like

$string = str_replace("<?php","<font color='blue'>&amp;lt;?php</font>",$string);

$string would be the info that you want highlighted, for example


$string = "<?php echo "Yak"; ?>";
// now go through the string and highlight various parts
$string = str_replace("<?php","<font color='blue'>&amp;lt;?php</font>",$string);
$string = str_replace("echo","<font color='orange'>echo</font>",$string);

echo $string;


Obviously there'll need more work on it, like reg exp being used on different keywords, but you get the idea, i hope :)

What I gave you will be the very basics, reg exp would highlight things properlylike echo "dfdfsf" would only result in echo " " being highlighted one color and the dfdfsf being in another colour, you can't do that with str_replace. I'd show an example of reg exp, but I hate it and don't know it that well :p

$str = '<?php echo 'blat'; // comment ?>';

$disp_str = highlight_string($str);
echo $disp_str;

Ooh, never knew about that one :) Thought there must've been an easier way

yeah, that works pretty much

but it so small i cant read it, just see the colours

how would i change the font size?

not 2 worry, i figured that bit out

the only prob i have now is that it wont display things like

$name

well ne thing wiv $ in front of it

how do i get round that?

hmmm.... out of interest, i was looking through my PHP info and found this:

highlight.bg #FFFFFF #FFFFFF
highlight.comment #FF9900 #FF9900
highlight.default #0000CC #0000CC
highlight.html #000000 #000000
highlight.keyword #006600 #006600
highlight.string #CC0000 #CC0000

does that have anything to do with highlighting php syntax?

Yeah, they''re the colours used in the highlighting
