If you want to display an entire source file via your server, the simplest way is to rename your .php file with a .txt extension or, if you want to retain the file as working php, make a symbolic link to it: ln -s mysource.php mysource.txt Most servers are configured to treat a .txt file as plain text and include a mime header to that effect. Most browsers will honor the header. (If your file *begins* with an <html> or <?xml> tag, however, some browsers will format it despite the header. So start with <?php> or plain text. ) If, however, you want to include the source as part of a formatted HTML page, you will have to replace all the "<"s and ">"s with "&lt;" and "&gt;". A regular expression should do the trick. A quick and dirty workaround (to avoid learning regex :) is to include your code in a <form><textarea>. That seems to come through in raw format. (The HTML <code> tag you tried to use is for formatting purposes only, i.e. to make the code look like code [i.i.e. printed in a crude lineprinter font :] It's not specific to any programming language.) --John On Saturday 12 April 2003 12:47 am, Pag wrote: > HI again, > > How can i make a print to the screen of php (or even > html) code without executing it?
