[SOLVED] Displaying a PHP code on a browser.

[paragkalra]

Hello all,

 

For some reason I intend to display my PHP on a web browser. That is to say that I don't want my PHP code to get interpreted.

 

Take for example what do I need to do to display following sample php code as it is on a web browser:

 

<?php

 

 

include "dbconnect.php";

$query1="SELECT `srno` FROM `quotes` ORDER BY `srno` DESC LIMIT 1" ;

$min=1;

$maxdata=mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());

$maxlimit=mysql_fetch_assoc($maxdata);

$max=$maxlimit['srno'];

$quoteno=rand($min, $max);

$query2 = "SELECT `quote`,`author` FROM `quotes` where `srno`=$quoteno";

$selectdata = mysql_query($query2);

while($col=mysql_fetch_row($selectdata))

{

 

echo "<p>$col[0]</p>";

echo "<p>- $col[1]</p>";

 

}

?>

you could place it in <pre></pre> HTML brackets

Rename the file to .phps

 

If your apache/php.ini are setup right that will show the syntax with highlights.

If you want to do this a lot you may want to use something like GeSHI.
