Bug #80793 [Nab]: highlight_string

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80793&edit=1 ID: 80793 User updated by: icarosnet at gmail dot com Reported by: icarosnet at gmail dot com Summary: highlight_string Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: all PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: well, I don't know if you can do it, to include this request in a vote, to see if they take it out within PHP. It seems to me that it would be the same as with html, you simply have to change the span tag for the php escapes in opening and closing, I would do it but I don't have access ... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-02-24 04:36:11] requinix@php.net Terminal coloring varies by terminal and operating system, though cmd in Windows 10 now seems to support the common ANSI \e[ sequences so that helps. With a small amount of creativity, you can alter the string returned by highlight_string() to use the proper escape sequences. Otherwise, if there isn't already a library out there to do this for you (and I'm 95% sure there is), the internals behind highlight_string() are not complicated so you could do it yourself using token_get_all(). https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-8.0.3/Zend/zend_highlight.c#L84 Because honestly, this sort of thing really is best handled by a library rather than bundled into PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-02-24 04:19:47] icarosnet at gmail dot com I am interested in this feature to run in cli, because i want implement in other of library: https://github.com/arcanisgk/BOH-Basic-Output-Handler currently only works on web, but if "highlight_string" works correctly in CLI I can extend the support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-02-24 04:13:24] icarosnet at gmail dot com i have check the php.init setting and only have this commented: ; Colors for Syntax Highlighting mode. Anything that's acceptable in ; <span style="color: ???????"> would work. ; http://php.net/syntax-highlighting ;highlight.string = #DD0000 ;highlight.comment = #FF9900 ;highlight.keyword = #007700 ;highlight.default = #0000BB ;highlight.html = #000000 the problem, not the limitation that php has in CLI is that "highlight_string" returns html code even when run from a terminal. is there a way to do it or recreate it for CLI? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-02-24 03:59:39] requinix@php.net Check your highlight.* php.ini settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-02-24 03:57:34] icarosnet at gmail dot com Description: ------------ hello any way to get highlight_string working in CLI?
