I would like to open an xml file in php, and display the contents, without parsing the xml, in a textarea for editing. Currenlty, I am simply storing all lines in an array and listing the lines, but this messes up the formatting which is especially important with regards to xml files to promote user comprehension.
My code:
Code: Select all
$lines = file_get_contents($filelocation, 'r');
$content = file($filelocation, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
$smarty-> assign('content', $content);
I have attached a screenshot of what the file currently looks like. On the left is output using GeSHi, on the right is the output in the textarea using the aforementioned code. If I can make the latter look even remotely like the former, it'll help a lot.
I am open to suggestions involving javascript, but I don't think that has anything to do with how I display these lines.
Thanks,
Jawad.
