highlight_file

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

highlight_file — Syntax highlighting of a file

Descrierea

highlight_file ( string $filename , bool $return = false ) : mixed

Prints out or returns a syntax highlighted version of the code contained in filename using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP.

Many servers are configured to automatically highlight files with a phps extension. For example, example.phps when viewed will show the syntax highlighted source of the file. To enable this, add this line to the httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Parametri

filename: Path to the PHP file to be highlighted.
return: Set this parameter to true to make this function return the highlighted code.

Valorile întoarse

If return is set to true, returns the highlighted code as a string instead of printing it out. Otherwise, it will return true on success, false on failure.

Note

Precauţie

Care should be taken when using the highlight_file() function to make sure that you do not inadvertently reveal sensitive information such as passwords or any other type of information that might create a potential security risk.

Notă:
Când este utilizat parametrul return, această funcție efectuează buferizarea internă a ieșirilor, de aceea nu poate fi utilizată în interiorul funcției de apel invers (callback) ob_start().

Here is a simple, yet useful, tip... Issuing the following command under a Unix-like OS:

ln -s your_script.php your_script.phps

Will result in the creation of a symbolic link (called your_script.phps) to the source code (your_script.php). This way you have (apart from the source code .php) the highlighted version of your script (.phps) accessible via your web browser.
