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

I noticed that Message-ID: <J_RUb.240902$n a.397133@attbi_ s04> from
Michelle contained the following:

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

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.

PHP: highlight_file - Manual

http://www.php.net/highlight_file

Syntax highlighting of a file

Example:

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

The HTML output is (reformatted):

Hello World!<code>

<?php 
echo 
'Hell o World!'
]; 
highlight_file 
(
$_SERVER
[
'PHP_SELF'
]
); 
?> 

</code>
