note 35838 added to function.highlight-string

someone has posted a function to highlight code between [source] and [/source], this is my version: function color_source($string,$strip_php_tag=false) { $array_contenido = explode("[source]",$string); $final = $array_contenido[0]; for($i = 1;$i <= count($array_contenido);$i++) { $array_contents = explode("[/source]",$array_contenido[$i]); if(!stristr($array_contents[0],"<?php")) $array_contents[0]=highlight_string( "<?php". $array_contents[0]. "?>",1); else $array_contents[0]=highlight_string($array_contents[0],1); if($strip_php_tag) { $t = str_replace("&lt;?php","",$array_contents[0]); $t = str_replace("?&gt;","",$t); $array_contents[0] = $t; } $final .=' <span class="blogbody" style="font-size:80%">'. $array_contents[0]. '</span>'. $array_contents[1]; } return $final; } example: $string = '$a+=1;'; echo color_source($string,true); as you can see the highlighting work even if the open tag "<?php" and "?>" doesn't exist in the string to process. you can specify if need to strip or not the php tag "<?php" and "?>". The function automatically add the open tag for get the highlight_string() function work in right way. the function above use the ability of highlight_string() function to output the result direct to a string in this way you've not to use the ob_* functions. NOTE: you don't have to escape ' or " because i use the addslashes() function on the string before highlight it. enjoy the result.
