showing source

[Czar]

What is the best way to show code on php page, like code snippets here(ew). I load the source to DB and read it from there and i want to show the source code so, that code won't be parsed, not even html. Oh, and also; How to keep line breaks in right place so, that the code block wouldn't look like a table with a thousand characters in it?

Thanks.

BTW. The code doesn't have to be highlighted.

<?
echo(htmlspecialchars($code));
?>

have a look HERE there are a couple of other string functions to do with html characters.

maybe show_source() would also be helpful.
