How To Display Php Code [resolved] Html Help With Php Codebox

matak · January 31, 2007

I'm trying to make codebox for my guestbook so that users can post PHP code inside..I tried many versions but none of them worksIf i use <xpm>, <pre> or <textbox> i can display HTML code, but when i try to write PHP code it executes it does not display..There is a way to make swap for <? with ANSCI characters but that is not convenient for me.You have codebox in forum to display php how can i make that?!thanks

Use the PHP function "htmlentities" to convert everything placed inside the CODEBOX bbcode. That should do it.

What happens if you use the <pre> tags but do not include the php start and end tags?

<pre><!-- -some php code here -->echo 'this';echo 'and that ';<!-- -end php code here --></pre>

I found this way..

<?php$mycode = '<?php echo("hello");?> <html>';$stvarno = array ("<", ">");$zamjenjeno = array ("<",">");$code = str_replace($stvarno, $zamjenjeno, $mycode);echo ("$code");?>

now i need to find a way that my guestbook creates this $mycode string.. that's bothering me to, but i really didn't start on creating gbook yet. i hopet that's not gonna be problem..

@jlhaslip
in your code you dont use php start and end tags, when you use them it just echo's this and that

@truefusion
i don't know that command, and that, i'll probably use that later maybe for adding bbcode. if you can make simple example of how to use it it would be great..

i wanted to change topic to solved, couse this is really what i was looking for a long time. i guess i was lucky 10 minutes after posting, so if mods can change title to something like "How to display php code" it would be great. I tried editing but i guess it's not an option in new forum anymore...

thank you dear moderator

i just wanted to add this little perk of code above..

if you want to add some html features to your codebox like bold do it like this..

<?php$mycode = '<?php echo("hello");?> [b]<html>[/b]';$stvarno = array ("<", ">", "[b]", "[/b]");$zamjenjeno = array ("<",">", "<b>", "</b>");$code = str_replace($stvarno, $zamjenjeno, $mycode);echo ("$code");?>

and voila, you can say that is BB(bulletin board) code
but for some reason it's not going to bold < and > characters.. dunno why

I know the problem is resolved, but i'll respond to these...

@truefusioni don't know that command, and that, i'll probably use that later maybe for adding bbcode. if you can make simple example of how to use it it would be great..

<?php$mycode = '<?php echo("hello");?> <html>';$mycode = htmlentities($mycode);echo "<pre>".$mycode."</pre>";?>

This is how i would have done it: less work, just as affective.

but for some reason it's not going to bold < and > characters.. dunno why

Reason being 'cause the bbcodes don't surround the less-than and greater-than symbols, like so:

$mycode = '[b]<[/b]?php echo("hello");?[b]>[/b] [b]<html>[/b]';

thanks for the tip.. Really is much simpler. I solved that issue with bolding < and > characters. It was kinda simple, all i had to do is add <pre> tag to echo.. like you did with htmlentities code it works just fine...
