<CODE> + highlight_string

[aksival]

I'm pulling XHTML from a mysql database and displaying it dynamically in different locations.

I'm looking for a way to apply the effects of highlight_string() to anything within <code></code> tags.

Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

Best,

When u generate your xml and insert code just do it like this:

$str = "<?php\r\n";
$str.= "\t/* my code */\r\n";
$str.= "?>\r\n";
$xml = highlight_string($str);

and this will be the output

<code><font color="#000000">
<font color="#0000BB">&lt;?php
<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</font><font color="#FF8000">/* my code */
<br /></font><font color="#0000BB">?&gt;
<br /></font>
</font>
</code>
