PHP coloring

mzanimephp

Hi, I'm making a forum for our intranet in the company I work for and I would like to add code-colors similar to the colors you guys have here for PHP code.

<?php

  $trafficlight = "green";
  $light = "<span style=\"background-color:#ffffcc; font-weight:bold\">light</span>";

  if($trafficlight == "red") {
echo "The $light is red, I can not go.";
}
  else if($trafficlight == "yellow") {
echo "The $light is yellow, I must slow down.";    

}
  else if($trafficlight == "green") {
echo "The $light is green, I can go now.";  

}
  else {
echo "Ooops, I don't understand that.";  

}

?>

Where can I go to download the code which colors inserted PHP code like this?? its awesome. We're using phpBB, and it doesn't color code snippets like this board does.

stick_figure

Check out highlight_string(). Also, I think this should be under PHP Help.

This code was posted on php.net, it does what you want:

<?
function phphighlight($input) {
  $text = spliti("\[code\]|\[\/code\]",$input);
  for($i = 0; $i < count($text); $i++) {
    if(ereg("(<\?)(.*)(\?>)",$text[$i])) {
      ob_start();
      highlight_string($text[$i]);
      $text[$i] = ob_get_contents();
      ob_end_clean();
      $text[$i] = "<p class=\"code\">\n".$text[$i]."</p>";
    }
    else {
     $text[$i] = $text[$i];
    }
  }
  $text = implode("",$text);
  return $text;
}
?>

It color-codes stuff within

 that is also within <?.
I've altered it a bit, though, so it works a little better.  (Short tags are highlighted, changed to [code] from something else, forgot what, though)
