[SOLVED] Function echoing itself

[MrPickle]

I don't know why, but my function is printing itself ???

Not much more to say so here's my code:

 

<?php
include "Highlight.php"; //http://rafb.net/paste/highlight.phps
function PrintCpp($path) {
$file = fopen($path, 'r');
$data = "";
while(!feof($file)) $data .= fgets($file, 4096);

echo syntax_highlight($data, "C++");
}
?>

 

It is printing the included file but not all of it, I can't work out where it's printing from but I think it's from the 9th line in keyword_replace

We'd need to see the included file.

 

EDIT: Just saw the link, nvm.  I'll check it out.

Doing an error check it's saying:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function syntax_highlight() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Site\Parse.php on line 8

 

It's saying that it's undefined when the function is actually highlighting itself?!

 

[DarkWater]

I think I know what the problem is. short_tag_open is off on your server (which is just fine.  Hell, it's better off that way), and the person who wrote that highlighter clearly didn't plan on releasing it because he used short tags (which is a big no-no).  Change <? to <?php in the Highlight.php file.

[MrPickle]

Oh wow, such a trivial thing caused such a big error.

 

May I ask why not adding the 'php' bit to the tag causes this to happen?

 

 

Thank you, btw.

[DarkWater]

Sure, I'd be glad to explain.  The standard opening tag is, as you know, is <?php.  A while back, they introduced a 'short tag' to make PHP programming easier (it actually made it harder though).  Since this option can be turned off (and it is by default), it's STRONGLY discouraged to use the short tag family (<? and <?=) in any modern scripts that will be distributed or possibly used on different servers.

[MrPickle]

Great, thanks.

Also, XML hijacked <? as its opening tag

Yup.
