    Code to display my code

    Hi all,

    I am taking a class in PHP and thought that it would be nice to display
    the PHP code that generated my pages when the user clicked a link (or
    submit button). I have seen page that will display the underlying HTML
    on the page and it would be a nice touch...I think

    Is there a way to do this?

    TIA,

    Miki

      PHP: highlight_file - Manual
      http://www.php.net/highlight_file
      Syntax highlighting of a file


      Example:

      <?php
      echo '<p>Hello World!</p>';
      highlight_file( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
      ?>

      The HTML output is (reformatted):

      <p>Hello World!</p><code>
      <font color="#000000" >
      <font color="#0000CC" >&lt;?php<br /></font>
      <font color="#006600" >echo </font>
      <font color="#CC0000" >'&lt;p&gt;Hell o World!&lt;/p&gt;'</font>
      <font color="#006600" >];<br/></font>
      <font color="#0000CC" >highlight_file </font>
      <font color="#006600" >(</font>
      <font color="#0000CC" >$_SERVER</font>
      <font color="#006600" >[</font>
      <font color="#CC0000" >'PHP_SELF'</font>
      <font color="#006600" >]</font>
      <font color="#006600" >);<br /></font>
      <font color="#0000CC" >?&gt;<br /></font>
      </font>

              sounds like you want to use fopen, fread and fclose functions to read your
              script into a variable and then display it.
              your current script's filename is in the variable
              $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAM E"]

              so you'll end up with something like:

              $filename = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAM E"];
              $filehandle = @fopen($filenam e, "r");
              $contents = fread($filehand le, filesize($filen ame));
              @fclose($handle );

              next, display $contents in any way you like. you can also use file()
              function to read the file into an array, etc.
              note that the @ prevents error messages from displaying and revealing
              your script's location when an error occurs, which is more secure.

              steven.

                  I noticed that Message-ID: <J_RUb.240902$n a.397133@attbi_ s04> from
                  Michelle contained the following:
                  [color=blue]
                  >I am taking a class in PHP and thought that it would be nice to display

                  >on the page and it would be a nice touch...I think[/color]

                  You could save the file with a .phps extension which makes the code
                  visible and nicely coloured.

                      There is PHP code to display HTML and PHP code (or a mixture of the two) -
                      with appropriate syntax highlighting for both languages - at:
