adding tags around php (excluding html?)

newbtophp · March 2, 2010

Well my assumption was its impossible, but i had second thoughts regarding this so thought i'd ask the question here.

How would i add php tags around php code? (even if its not always accurate).

Maybe by manipulating the token_get_all function?

Example:

function hey($code){
return "hey".$code;
}

<html>
<title>PHPFreaks</title>

Would transform into:

<?php
function hey($code){
return "hey".$code;
}
?>
<html>
<title>PHPFreaks</title>

Let me know your thoughts?, and if manipulating token_get_all would work?

I don't think there's a sure way to do it, anything you use in PHP could just be seen as text.

Also, why wouldn't you just insert the tags yourself?
