The Bugs Database is the place for feature requests: http://bugs.php.net. But read the instructions first. :) Anyway, as noted in the docs, you can do this yourself: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); function my_highlight_string($string) { ob_start(); highlight_string($string); $retval = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $retval; } $str = my_highlight_string('<?php error_reporting(E_ALL); function my_highlight_string($string) { ob_start(); highlight_string($string); $retval = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $retval; } ?>'); echo "The highlighted string: $str"; ?> Cheers, Torben > str highlight_string ( string str) > This function returns a string containing a syntax highted version of str > using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP.
