RE: [PHP] Anyway to open a PHP file and view its code in the browser?

A symbolic link is like a pointer to a file. It is like a "shortcut" on windows OS's... Jeff At 03:44 PM 2/14/2002 -0700, Kevin Stone wrote:

I did a net wide search on Symbolic links to learn what they are and how to use them. Wouldn't you know everyone's talking about them but no one explains what they are or how to use them. So I'm forced to ask... What are symbolic links? Why are they useful?

what I need to do. I'm uploading and updating my scripts all the

So I need to offer code views of *active* scripts. Changing the

file

name to phps makes the scripts inactive. Any other ideas? -Kevin

browser? Rename the file you want to display as PHP code to .phps (php

source)

instead of .php. This will also activate PHP's built in source code highlighting.

How can I open a local PHP script and view its code to the

browser?

The

Readfile() method appears to parse and execute the code. The

Fopen()

method appears to parse and then not execute the code, leaving a

blank

screen, or at the very least displaying any non-PHP text existing

in

the

script. This is obviously rare question because I can't find any references on this list or on Usenet. Is there a trick to this?

Or

is

it simply not possible. Much Thanks, Kevin Stone <Kevin@helpelf.com>
