When I visit your page, I don't see much. The content area does not exist...it's just background color.

Since you are trying to use some modern coding practices, I recommend you add a DOCTYPE to that top of this doument - no document should be without one these days.

You have to highlight the string, then explode() on the remaining <br /> tags, then run your numbered-output code. In that order.

If you explode() on newlines and then attempt to highlight the individual lines, it won't work, because the highlighter loses its "state" between lines, and PHP expressions cross multiple lines.

thats what its doing yelvington heres the code

function phpHighlight($code){
	$code = stripslashes($code);
	$code = highlight_string($code, true);
	$code = explode("<br />",  $code);
	$text = "<table bgcolor=\"#B0B9C8\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" border=\"1\">";
	for($x=0;$x<sizeof($code);$x++){
		$text .= "
		<tr>
		 <td valign=\"top\" bgcolor=#7C8AA4><div align=\"center\" style=\"color: #455064;font-size: 13px;\">".($x+1)."</div></td>
		 <td class=\"td1\">".$code[$x]."</td>
		</tr>";
	}

$text .= "</table>";
echo ($text);
}

as for vaska it might be because you dont have frames enabled because that would cause it not to show up (yet) .
