highlight_string help needed

JCScoobyRS

I am doing this:

return highlight_string("<?$codeText?&gt;", TRUE);

but it's not working. I'm getting this:

<?function highlight_code ($langName, $codeText)
{
     $langName = strtolower($langName);
     require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/colorcode/HColor_Core.php";

 if ($langName == 'php')
{
     return highlight_string($codeText, TRUE);
}else{
     $HColor = new HColorCore;
     return $HColor->HighlightColor($langName,$codeText);}    

}?&gt;

Anyone know why the > isn't getting parsed? Thanks, Jeremy

Because it needs to be an actual > to work.

If I do that...I get a blank page because the "?>" thinks that I'm trying to close a block of code. Does that make sense? Later, Jeremy

What happens when you just back-slash the characters that mess it up or run addslashes() on the string?

Sorry...meant to add this to your other post (but it looks like it applies here too...):

IT shouldn't do that. If the ?> is inside of a set of quotes " " then it should not get interpreted.

Here is the code as is:

<?
function highlight_code ($langName, $codeText)
    {
        $langName = strtolower($langName);
    	require_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/colorcode/HColor_Core.php";
    	if ($langName == 'php'){
    	    return highlight_string("<?$codeText?".">", TRUE);
    	}else{
    	    $HColor = new HColorCore;
    	    return $HColor->HighlightColor($langName,$codeText);
    	}
    }
?>

All that I'm trying to do is use this function to Highlight all PHP code. Right now...$codeText is equal to the function itself. HTH, Jeremy

Sxooter,
I see you are in Denver, CO. I live in Loveland, CO...how cool is that?

You may need full tags on:

<?php

instead of <?

IT is cool being in the same state. One of the moderators on the board lives in evergreen. We should organize a ski trip this winter, anyone like ABasin? It's my fav.
