highlight_string only using #000000 - INI File shows otherwise

TFlan · 02-23-2013, 06:34 AM

The line of code in question is:

PHP Code:


			
$content[$i] = highlight_string($content[$i], true);

However every single color hex is #000000 as seen here http://tristification.com/chit-chat/2/3

I have checked the INI file and the default values are the normal colors, and php_info reveals that to be true aswell. I have also set them at the start of the page using ini_set() however every single color is #000000.

Any thoughts? This is truly puzzling.

Looks fine to me. I see the red, green, blue and orange as I would expect for that.
The only thing I can suggest is perhaps your original didn't have the opening <?php in it. That is required for highlight string to work.

Yea there were two problems that I found.

For my code lines, I have to have <code>...</code> around each individual line. It uses CSS. Which I then applied highlight_string() to each individual line, so it thought it was all HTML and thus #000000 was applied.

Also, I forgot the <?php ?>.

Thanks for the responses, I didn't think I would've been able to figure it out, leading me to post it here. But I got it
