maybe print the code itself.

[beboo002]

use function()

when u hav need the call the function();

[pranav_kavi]

suppose u ve php file called 'temp.php' like,

<?php

.....some php code.....

//to display php script

show_source("http://url/temp.php");

?>

[lehi@here]

i think when the function is called, it should print the code itself.

use for()

[sasa]

try

<?php
$b = 5+2;
echo $b;
echo '<br />Sasa<br >';

// not output
echo '<hr />script source:<br />';
echo '<pre>';
echo htmlentities(preg_replace('/[\r\n]*\/\/ not output.*not output[\r\n]*/s',"\r\n",file_get_contents($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));
echo '</pre><hr />';
// not output

?>

file_get_contents("temp.php");

 

Will generate the script itself as output, however, if you want to print that to a page it is more complicated because it will be parsed.
