[RESOLVED] highlight_string without <??>

[homer09001]

im trying to highlight some code but i don't want to have the open and close php tags in the code, so is there anyway to get the highlight_string to highlight without them tags?

code to be highlighted:

///////////// Start Of Custom Style /////////////

elseif( = 'UNIQUE IDENTIFIER')
{
echo '<style type="text/css">
#style-b
{

}
#style-b th
{

}
#style-b tbody
{

}
#style-b td
{

}

#style-b tbody tr:hover td
{

}
</style>';
}
///////////// End Of Custom Style /////////////

if i try to highlight the code as it is, it appears as normal black text and not coloured code?

This is all i can think off. Im sure someone will come up with a non-hack solution, but try this.

$code = .... << INSERT CODE HERE
$split = "SPLITMARKER";
$a = explode($split, highlight_string("<?php $split$code$split?>", true));
echo "<code>".$a[1]."</code>";

Logic is simple. Just add the php tags, and then extract the inner HTML using a couple of split makers. You then have to add the <code> tags back.

Hi, just tried to find the code in the page i used it for but i no longer have it unfortunatly sorry, and im not able to remember how i got it to work, the only way i get it to work is to insert a unique character after the opening tag and before the closing php tag, then change $split to = that character, the you will need to change $a[1] to $a[2] and it should work but obviously it relies on you adding the unique character into the mix code you want to highlight.

Here's the function I just wrote to solve the same problem. Hope it helps! (call this instead of highlight_string) It works with full open tags only, if you want to also support short open tags it would take some reworking, but you should get the idea.

<?php
function PHPHighlight($str) {
	$added = FALSE;
	$firstopen = strpos($str,'<?php');
	$firstclose = strpos($str,'?>');
	if( $firstopen === FALSE ) {
		$str = '<?php '.$str;
		$added = TRUE;
	} elseif( $firstclose !== FALSE && $firstclose < $firstopen ) {
		$str = '<?php '.$str;
		$added = TRUE;
	}
	$str = highlight_string($str,TRUE);
	if( $added === TRUE ) {
		$open = substr($str,0,37);
		$close = substr($str,87);
		$str = $open.$close;
	}
	return $str;
}

thank you!

For me is enough the buzzPHP code but i have to integrate it with my BBcode as explained in this topic.

Can you help me?
