.phps highlighted code

If you want .phps to display highlighted code is there a way to do it with the ini or htaccess or does that need to be configured to the providers end?

I think your server needs to be configured with some kind of highlighting software. PHP doesn't do this by default

Well I'm guessing I'm wrong then. Use that function Smile

try adding this to your .htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Was trying that and then found something about this working on suPHP
AddType x-httpd-php-source .phps

But neither one works Confused

It just keeps asking me to download it.

FYI your host may not have the proper extension installed to support this. Like mine Crying or Very sad

Even though its shows up in their system MINEs. Evil or Very Mad

For anyone interested this is what it should look like. (I'm using the function) Also you can set the colors in your php.ini.

You could use that if mod_rewrite is enabled

highlight_php_file.php

Code:

<?php


highlight_file($_GET['file']);

.htaccess

Code:




<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>


   RewriteEngine On


   RewriteRule ^(.+\.phps)$ highlight_php_file.php?file=$1 [L]


</IfModule>

or just only use the following in .htaccess

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

[edit]
Fixed space between $1 and [L]. Thanks for noticing Palbin!
And added the simple way

Didn't think of that. Will have to give it a try.

djmaze, nice to see you around! Thanks for the links (both Palbin and djmaze)

That leads to highlight_string, which eliminates the need for geshi, assuming you only need PHP. Thoughts on that?

I never liked Geshi it's slow and eats resources on high traffic sites.

Everyone who wants highlighting has Javascript enabled anyway so why not use client-side solutions like codepress?

Just for anyone else doing this. There is a slight error in the code above. There was a space missing before the [L]

Code:




<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>


   RewriteEngine On


   RewriteRule ^(.+\.phps)$ highlight_php_file.php?file=$1 [L]


</IfModule>

Oh, totally forgot to mention you can skip all the above if your server supports the following in .htaccess

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
