[RESOLVED] HOW TO DISPLAY PHP CODE IN TEXTFIELD

taurus5_6

I'm trying to display the source code of my flash and php file in a text field, but of course, it will not be shown as a plain text because the tags will be interpreted as codes. How am I going to make it display in my textfield as textcodes and not read as a script?

Well, what i really meant is, how am I going to display it like this forum which IGNORES the example code

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" 
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
    width="490" height="600" id="savemovie">

<param name="movie" value="<?php echo($file); ?>" >

as a script but displayed instead as plain text.

Wrap it with a PRE tag

See [man]htmlspecialchars/man, e.g.:

echo "<pre>" . htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES) . "</pre>\n";

Thanks guys. Yet sorry for being dumb. Can't figure out where should I place the codes:

I tried it like this

echo "<pre>" . htmlspecialchars(
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" 
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
    width="490" height="600" id="savemovie">

<param name="movie" value="<?php echo($file); ?>" >
, ENT_QUOTES) . "</pre>\n";

I know it's not right but its my best guess.

$text = <<<EOD
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" 
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
    width="490" height="600" id="savemovie">

<param name="movie" value="$file" >
EOD;
// no spaces or tabs before the "EOD;" above!
echo "<pre>" . htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES) . "</pre>\n";
?>
