如何在页面上显示 PHP 和 HTML 源代码？

Question

How would one go about showing PHP code on user end. Sort of like w3School does?

Having lets say a grey area div, and then showing the code in there without activating it?

Answer 1

You can use html entities <?php in the html it will be rendered as <?php

You can use htmlspecialchars to encode your code to use html entities.

Answer 2

Use <pre> or <code> tags to wrap your code.

Take a look at http://php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php to further see how you can make the code look pretty.

Since passing a large block of code to highlight_string() can be messy, you may want to look at output buffering in combination with highlight_string to output colorized php code.

Something like:

<?php
ob_start();
?>

phpinfo();
echo "this echo statement isn't executed";

<?php 
$code = ob_get_clean();
highlight_string($code);
?>

Answer 3

Simply you can use following code to display php code on webpage.

highlight_string("<?php print('This is php code.'); ?>");

It will give output like

<?php print('This is php code.'); ?>

Answer 4

The first step is to not wrap that code in PHP tags. So instead of this:

<?
    var sample = "code";
?>

You would have this:

var sample = "code";

It's not the code itself which triggers the server-side compile from the PHP engine, it's the tags which indicate to that engine what blocks of the file are code and what are not. Anything that's not code is essentially treated as a string and output to the page as-is for the browser to interpret.

Once you're outputting the code, it's then a matter of formatting it. The old standard is to wrap it in pre tags to get rid of HTML-ish formatting:

<pre>
var sample = "code";
</pre>

You can also apply CSS style to the pre tags (or any other tags you want to use for displaying code, such as div ) as you see fit.

There are also very useful code syntax highlighting plugins and tools to make the code a lot "prettier". Google-code-prettify often comes highly recommended.

Answer 5

通常这是通过在<pre>或<code>标签中显示代码来完成的。

Answer 6

You can use this template........

######################################################################
echo "<h2><br>Source Code of ".basename((string)__FILE__) . "</h2><hr>";
show_source(__FILE__);
echo "<hr>";
echo "<h2>Output of ".basename((string)__FILE__) . "<hr></h2>";
#######################################################################

It will show the source code and output following.

Answer 7

use the header function of php, this will rea

<?php
  header("content-type: text/plain");
?>

Answer 8

The PHP code will just be a string that you can echo or print onto the page, no different than any other data you want PHP to display for you. If you want to keep the formatting (ex. the indentation), put it inside a <pre><code> block.

Ex:

$php_code = '<?php $foo = bar; ?>';

echo "<pre><code>$php_code</code></pre>";
