RegExx or BBCodes??

[gaza165]

I am currently using BBCodes to do the code tag in my blog, I need a regular expression to search for php code and to change their colors acccordingly.

 

Just like PHP Freaks does....

 

variables are a color

functions are a colour.

 

Just like below, thats what i want to accomplish...

 

<?php

$string = str_replace($string,"Hello","Hello there..."
echo $string

?>

I need a way to search for PHP code in my blog posts and to match the colors to fit with the code.

 

Just like phpfreaks does, hope someone can help me with this. Have been tearing my hair out over this.

 

Thanks

I'd do something like this:

 

<?php

$code = <<<CODE
  some content
  goes here
<?php

morePHPcode();

while ( !($succeed = try()) );

echo 'foo'.\$bar;

?>
here's some <b>more</b> content, ect. ect.
CODE;

echo hiliteCode( $code );

function hiliteCode( $input ) {

$regex = '/<\?.*?\?>/s';
return preg_replace_callback(
	$regex,
	create_function(
		'$m',
		'return "<pre>".highlight_string( $m[0], TRUE )."</pre>";'
	),
	$input
);

}

?>

@discomatt: You don't need to use a regex for this, highlight_string() should only parse PHP stuff on its own.

Ah, should've tested it.
