Hi, I have a code bank where I want to highlight the php code. I came along this code: http://www.evilwalrus.com/viewcode.php?codeEx=319 and was wondering how the heck I would use it LOL. Would I just include it in the page that outputs the code and use one of the highlighter's functions or what? Thanks

Well, I'd rather use something similiar to BigE's (the One) Highlight with Line Numbers snippet.

Works well when I tried it some time ago, and easier to learn from, aswell as does the trick.

Or you could easily create your own from scratch. ;)

highlight_string()

highlight_file() or show_source() also work

I tried the highlight_string() command, but nothin happened. Do I have to change all the < and $gt; to < and >, respectively? It should still work, right? I checked the server, I'm running php 4.2.2 with highlight.string set. What am I doing wrong? You can check out the page here: http://www.vgapws1.myhost24.com/devcorn ... rstpost=46

when u use highlight_string(string[,donotshow) you have to specify a string for the function to highlight, and optionally, a boolean value that if it's true the highlighted string won't be printed out
