Ok, it accured to me, that I dont know what im talking about .. I wanted to set up a [ code] llike the forum, but it wouldnt work..I couldnt put html or php in the tags..I was fiddling around, but it still didnt work..So, what exactly do I need? Not a BBCode parser..A HTML parser? PHP parser? I want it like the ones I see the tutorials use..I need it so I can put CSS, Javascript, PHP, and HTML into it..Anyone know what I need? Thanks.

well.. php highlight is easy..

<?
highlight_string('
<?
   $is = "is";
   echo "this php code" . $is . "highlighted";
?>');
?>

if your using php 5 with highlight_string is should also highlight html
: )

***** edit *****
hmm.. i just checked the function
http://us2.php.net/m...ight-string.php

simple

<div>
<pre>
<code>
<? php code ?>
</code>
</pre></div>

that should work

[ericrcan]

<div id="code-container">
				<div id="code-top">&nbsp;</div>
				<div id="code-main"><?
	highlight_string('<?php this php .is. highlighted ?>');
	?>			</div>
</div>

ok..well..its the highlight function thats messing up the way the text is..i took off the php functnion, and it worked fine..i put in the highlight, then it was just 1 long text strand..anyone know how to fix?? ill look...


*EDIT*

ok i got it to work! 1 problem..there is a "1" at teh end of the function...i used this function:

<?php
$text = 'text goes here......';
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 55, "\n");

echo highlight_string($newtext);
?>

the problem is, that it returns a 1 at the end on the website..is there anyway to bypass that?

php.net said:

If the second parameter return is set to TRUE then highlight_string() will return the highlighted code as a string instead of printing it out.
Note: The return parameter became available in PHP 4.2.0. Before this time it behaved like the default, which is FALSE

<?php
$text = 'text goes here......';
$newtext = wordwrap($text, 55, "\n");

highlight_string($newtext);
?>

Also, the highlight_string function will keep the formatting of your code automatically. If you look at any of the php tutorials on my site (more specifically this one), they all use highlight_string('<? the code ?>'), and no formatting is lost. So there might be some other problem with your code if it's not keeping the formatting.
