Display PHP code in html pages for writing tutorials

[rahish]

Hi

 

What is the best way to be able to view php code in html pages. I use a VLE and want to produce color coded php for my students within an html page.

 

I notice that your tutorials show this.

 

Where do I start?

html pages "cannot" process php... but you can have html tags, within php files...

 

for example...

<?
$test='test';
?>
<span><?=$test?></span>

Thanks for your reply

 

What I mean is on the php freaks tutorials for example,

 

<a href="http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/123/1.php">http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/123/1.php</a>

 

 

There is colour coded php in boxes. Its fine if I can only do it on PHP pages but I am not sure where to start.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks that's the kind of thing I need I think.

 

I'll come back if I get stuck again.
