Or php's highlight_ functions -

 

<?php
$file = 'help.php'; // name of file containing php code
$content = highlight_file($file,true); // get and highlight the php code
?>
<style type="text/css">
.code
{
border-style:solid;
border-color:red;
}
</style>
<?php
echo '<div class="code">' . $content . '</div>';
?>
