Ok brfore I had it set up as this:
<?php highlight_file ("File Name"); ?>
But to make it easier so I dont have to keep uploading every time I made a form that would highlight it. Here is the code for the process:
<?php
$file = $_POST['file'];
highlight_file ('$file');
?>
When I try that I get errors. Its the the txt field name I checked that,
Anyone know why?

Could you include your HTML form or explain what it does exactly?
What kind of file are you trying to highlight?
And are you trying to highlight a file that is on your PC or on your website?

<?php
$file = $_POST['file'];
highlight_file ('$file');
?>
That is all of the content of the highlight.php file, right? Please answer the following questions:
What kind of file are you trying to highlight? (PHP, TXT, HTML, ASP, you name it)
Are you trying to highlight a file that is on your PC or on your website already? (if on your PC you'd first need it to get uploaded, or, directly copy and paste the source into a form and make that form view the text highlighted)
I think you are trying to highlight a file that's on your PC, but if so..why use a simple text input field to get the URL of the file?
Please explain.
$file = $_POST['file'];
highlight_file ('$file');
?>

The problem is, you'd need to upload them before they are on your server.
Try this:
Try this:
<?php
if ($submit) { //check if submit is hit
$file = $_POST['file'];
highlight_file ($file); // I removed the quotation marks here
}
else {
echo "Please use the form to submit a file first!";
}
?>

well, if you don't want to upload them everytime you want something highlighted... the go the super easy way, highlight_string();
this should work, if you get confused or this didn't quite work you can check these 2 places for a little better explanation for more info on this:
My tutorial (includes how to choose the colors you want to be returned)
php.net
you should be able to do what you want with this, if you need any more help, just pm me and ill see what i can do
<input type="textfield" name="string"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit>
<?
if($_POST['submit']){
highlight_string($_POST['string']);
}
?>

rc69, I believe your code only highlights a certain string, while I think Pbkilldezines was talking about a file. The script I submitted in my previous post should actually highlight the code of the filename specified.

well, what you believe is wrong
highlight_string() can highlight just as much as highlight_file(), but it can work with varialbe strings as long as the code for this entire site, so you can use a text field to put it in, you just need to make sure to have the <? ?> tags around the entire thing, or it wont be highlighted
(for example, my tutorial used highlight_string() to highlight everything there that happens to be highlighted)
so really, my could would be a bit better for what he wants

No offense, but you're either not understanding my post or his, since what he asks for is to highlight FILES not CODE.
