built-in syntax highlighting in php 4.1

does it do <br> or <br />?

nl2br() started outputting <br /> as of 4.05 - however, my memory tells me that the functions highlight_string() and highlight_file() didn't get around to switching from <br> to <br /> until later. Anyone remember if 4.1's syntax highlighting had <br> or <br />'s in it, or have their own 4.1.x install to test? If it's <br> I'll have to account for this in my script. Thx!

I searched the Changelogs but couldn't find any documentation on this. You could always install your own implementation of the earlier release [php.net], but it would probably be easier to just plan for the worse and code accordingly.

The only other option I can think of would be to pull down the source code for that version and search through the source for that routine.

Thanks coopster, Mr. Lazy here will just have to do a bit more work ;)

Interested to know what you find out if you do go down that road ;-)
