Re: [PHP] suggestions on work-arounds to highlight_file() ?

[Philip Olson]

A note exists at http://www.php.net/highlight_file that says:

  Note:  The return parameter became available in PHP 4.2.0. Before 
 this time it behaved like the default, which is FALSE

So if you want to capture the output of highlight_file before 
4.2.0 then you'll need to use output buffering, something like:

  function ob_highlight_file($filename) 
  {
ob_start();
highlight_string($filename);
$source = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

return $source;
  }

Be sure to pay attention to notes and warnings within the 
PHP manual.

 using PHP 4.1.3-dev on WinME, I call

 and get a warning,
 
 Warning: Wrong parameter count for highlight_file() in myfile.php
 
 and *don't* get the highlighted source I want.  show_source()
 does precisely the same thing.
 
 The manual says that PHP version = 4.0.0 should support
 a second optional parameter... why would this fail?
 Is there some other easy way to do this?  I have to get it returned
 in a string to stuff it into my template.

I meant to use highlight_file instead of highlight_string, doh!
I'll go back in time and modify the source below :)

How about just make a symbolic link with .phps to the file:

ln -s /www/htdocs/phpdoc.php /www/htdocs/phpdoc.phps

Then make sure that your httpd.conf file has the following line in it:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Then url.com/phpdoc.phps would view the colored source for the file..

Later,

Bob
