note 53896 added to function.highlight-string

In some cases, I found that it's useful to have highlight_string format <code>...</code> inline as part of a paragraph, and other times, as a block for demonstrating multiple lines of code. I made this function to help out. <?php function highlight_code($code, $inline=false, $return=false) // Pre php 4 support for capturing highlight { (string) $highlight = ""; if ( version_compare(phpversion(), "4.2.0", "<") === 1 ) { ob_start(); // start output buffering to capture contents of highlight highlight_string($code); $highlight = ob_get_contents(); // capture output ob_end_clean(); // clear buffer cleanly } else { $highlight=highlight_string($data, true); } ## The classes below need to correspond to a stylesheet! if ( $inline === true ) $highlight=str_ireplace("<code>","<code class=\"inline\">",$highlight); else $highlight=str_ireplace("<code>","<code class=\"block\">",$highlight); if ( $return === true ) { return $highlight; } else { echo $highlight; } } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53896 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53896&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53896&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53896&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53896&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53896&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53896&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53896&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
