I'm trying to make codebox for my guestbook so that users can post PHP code inside..
I tried many versions but none of them works

If i use <xpm>, <pre> or <textbox> i can display HTML code, but when i try to write PHP code it executes it does not display..
There is a way to make swap for <? with ANSCI characters but that is not convenient for me.

You have codebox in forum to display php how can i make that?!
thanks

Use the PHP function "htmlentities" to convert everything placed inside the CODEBOX bbcode. That should do it.

What happens if you use the <pre> tags but do not include the php start and end tags?

I found this way..

CODE

<?php

$mycode = '<?php echo("hello");?> <html>';

$stvarno = array ("<", ">");

$zamjenjeno = array ("<",">");

$code = str_replace($stvarno, $zamjenjeno, $mycode);

echo ("$code");

?>

now i need to find a way that my guestbook creates this $mycode string.. that's bothering me to, but i really didn't start on creating gbook yet. i hopet that's not gonna be problem..

@jlhaslip
in your code you dont use php start and end tags, when you use them it just echo's this and that

@truefusion
i don't know that command, and that, i'll probably use that later maybe for adding bbcode. if you can make simple example of how to use it it would be great..

i wanted to change topic to solved, couse this is really what i was looking for a long time. i guess i was lucky 10 minutes after posting, so if mods can change title to something like "How to display php code" it would be great. I tried editing but i guess it's not an option in new forum anymore...

thank you dear moderator

i just wanted to add this little perk of code above..

if you want to add some html features to your codebox like bold do it like this..

CODE

<?php

$mycode = '<?php echo("hello");?> [b]<html>[/b]';

$stvarno = array ("<", ">", "[b]", "[/b]");

$zamjenjeno = array ("<",">", "<b>", "</b>");

$code = str_replace($stvarno, $zamjenjeno, $mycode);

echo ("$code");

?>

and voila, you can say that is BB(bulletin board) code
but for some reason it's not going to bold < and > characters.. dunno why

$mycode = htmlentities($mycode);

echo "<pre>".$mycode."</pre>";

?>

This is how i would have done it: less work, just as affective.

Reason being 'cause the bbcodes don't surround the less-than and greater-than symbols, like so:

CODE

$mycode = '[b]<[/b]?php echo("hello");?[b]>[/b] [b]<html>[/b]';

thanks for the tip.. Really is much simpler.
I solved that issue with bolding < and > characters. It was kinda simple, all i had to do is add <pre> tag to echo.. like you did with htmlentities code it works just fine...
