<simpara>
The <function>highlight_string</function> function outputs a syntax
highlighted version of <parameter>str</parameter> using the colors defined
in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP.

If the second parameter <parameter>return</parameter> is set to &true;
then <function>highlight_string</function> will return the highlighted
code as a string instead of printing it out. If the second parameter is
not set to &true; then <function>highlight_string</function> will
return &true; on success, &false; on failure.
