    Quoting PHP code in a .php file???

    I am new to PHP and I want to quote the followong content into a Web page

    <html>
    <head><title>Co nnect Server</title></head>
    <body>
    <?
    $link = mysql_connect(" localhost",$_PO ST['username'],$_POST['password'])or
    die("Connect Error: ".mysql_error() );
    print "Successful ly connected.\n";
    mysql_close($li nk);
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    The Web page is generated by a xxx.php file and what I want to be q quote is
    executed rather than displayed. I have tried to surround it with block
    formatting HTML elements such as <blockquote> or <pre> but the PHP code
    surrounded by "<?" and "?>" always get executed and throws errors.

    How can I simply quote it and display it on the page?

    Thank yoy

    Georges

      How do you get the contents you're trying to display?

      Try these:
      http://www.php.net/htmlentities
      http://www.php.net/highlight_file

          In HTML, you must change the '<'s so that the browser does
          not interpret them as the beginnings of markup. The built-
          in function htmlspecialchar s serves this purpose. It
          converts so-called special characters to their entity
          references.
