    Im writing a sample php code and I want to display it on the webpage. But the damn thing keeps interpetting it instead of just displaying it.

    Is there some special character I need to put before all my php code that I want displayed versus interpetted?

    Change < to &lt; and > to &gt; in the html/php file... Not 100% sure if this works, but I think it does cause that's how you also display html code.

    If you want to get all fancy and display code on your site as it shows up here, i.e.

    
<?php

echo "A little sample php code echo.";

?>
    PHP:
    then you can also look at Geshi and the PEAR Text_Highlighter class. As well as displaying php code you can display a whole host of other languages.
