PHP code viewer or display

[hozyali]

Hi,

I am wondering for something.

I have seen a lot of sites displaying php tricks and tips. most of them display php code snippets in a different container and it also maintains the php code colors and blocks etc.

an example is like

http://www.noupe.com/php/php-regular-expressions.html

the above link shows the php code snippets in a white container with code colors etc and that is copyable too.

please advise.

thanks

I believe most of them use a Syntax Highlighter. The example you gave (a Wordpress site) uses an open source one:

oh great, thanks a lot for your help.

Just others to know, I found a very good wordpress plugin for syntax highlighting

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntax-highlighter-and-code-prettifier/

and its supported for the latest version of wordpress.

Did you know that PHP has built-in support for highlighting?
highlight_file [php.net]
highlight_string [php.net]

Yes, I didn't know how to use this kind of thing in wordpress posts.

Thanks for your help thou.
