highlight_syntax() displays 1 after the function

[MasterACE14]

Evening Everyone,

 

I am using the highlight_syntax() function for some code, and it works fine, I echo it, and it shows the code highlighted, but it also echo's a 1 after all the code. Why is that?

 

I've tried substr() to remove it with no success.

 

Regards ACE

some code would help

[MasterACE14]

<?php
$heading = highlight_string("<?php echo \"Persons Name Subject\"; ?> ");

echo $heading;

?>

 

its displaying this:

<?php echo "Persons Name Subject"; ?> 1

[rajivgonsalves]

try

 

$heading = highlight_string("<?php echo \"Persons Name Subject\"; ?> ",TRUE);

echo $heading;

[MasterACE14]

doesn't echo anything then  :-\

 

and if I try FALSE instead of TRUE, it echo's it with the 1 still.

Remove the echo; the function will output itself if TRUE is not specified.

<?php
highlight_string("<?php echo \"Persons Name Subject\"; ?> ");
?>

 

EDIT: But if you wanna save the string in a variable, and then echo it out, this works fine for me (TRUE makes the function return the highlighted string instead of outputting it):

 

<?php
$str = highlight_string("<?php echo \"Persons Name Subject\"; ?>", TRUE);
echo $str;
?>
