[SOLVED] PHP Freak Code

[frost]

What is the code that makes the "PHP Example:"s on the tutorial pages here on PHP freaks?

 

For example: http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/146/0.php

 

Did someone change the < > to < > manually or is it a script? Thanks much.

Ok so the thing is I want to html code around the tutorial:

 

<table>

<tr><td>

<b>TITLE</b></td></tr>

<tr><td>

TUTORIAL STUFF

</td></tr></table>

 

and all of that is stored in my database, so if I do htmlspecialchars(); it will also display the table code...

htmlspecialchars() will allow you to display html tags and characters on the page. Barrands even better method highlight will provide the lovely blue,red,green and orange colors for the various php and html elements in the text. If your mysql data is returned exactly as you typed it it will produce...

 

TITLE

TUTORIAL STUFF

Well I tried:

 

$string ="<table>
<tr><td>
TITLE</td></tr>
<tr><td>
TUTORIAL STUFF
</td></tr></table>";

echo htmlspecialchars($string);

 

Output:

 

<table> <tr><td> TITLE</td></tr> <tr><td> TUTORIAL STUFF </td></tr></table>

 

Am I missing something?

Why are you storing all that in the database? Just store your tutorial part.

The tutorial includse stuff that is code and stuff that is just me explaining things.

 

How about this route:

 

$Text = preg_replace("/\[code\](.+?)\[\/code\]/is","$CodeLayout", $Text);

 

This is a BBcode thing but I wonder if I could be adapted?

 

In this example it replaces everything between the bbcode "code" values. Is it possible to do something like this and instead of replacing everything just replace all instances of < and > with < > ?
