How to make PHP display its code

Hi all,

I'm looking for how to make PHP display its code, including the <? ?>, instead of processing it. This is for the purpose of making a PHP tutorial complete with the code printed on the page.

Thank you!

 

<?php
highlight_file($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
?>

PHP:

 

Depending on your server setup, you may also be able to save your source as .phps and it will automatically highlight it for you.

 

Not sure but i guess your problem is just that your code snippets are not displayed in the HTML because you have .php pages that execute the code ?

In this case, you just need to encode the "<" and ">" braces - replace all "<" within your code with "&lt;" and all ">" with "&gt;"

 

<?
echo "t ";
?>

 

^^ Awesome, I'm impressed.
