<simpara>
The <function>highlight_file</function> function prints out a syntax
higlighted version of the code contained in <parameter>filename</parameter>
using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP.
</simpara>
<simpara>
If the second parameter <parameter>return</parameter> is set to &true;
then <function>highlight_file</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_file</function> will
return &true; on success, &false; on failure.
</simpara>
<note>
<simpara>
The <parameter>return</parameter> parameter became available in PHP
4.2.0. Before this time it behaved like the default, which is &false;
</simpara>
</note>
<caution>
<simpara>
Care should be taken when using the
<function>show_source</function> and
<function>highlight_file</function> functions to make sure that
you do not inadvertently reveal sensitive information such as
passwords or any other type of information that might create a
potential security risk.
</simpara>
</caution>
<note>
<simpara>
Since PHP 4.2.1 this function is also affected by <link
linkend="ini.safe-mode">safe_mode</link> and <link
linkend="ini.open-basedir">open_basedir</link>.
</simpara>
</note>
<simpara>
To setup a URL that can code hightlight any script that you pass to
it, we will make use of the "ForceType" directive in
Apache to generate a nice URL pattern, and use the
function <function>highlight_file</function> to show a nice looking
code list.
</simpara>
<simpara>
In your &httpd.conf; you can add the following:
</simpara>
<para>
<example>
<title>Creating a source highlighting URL</title>
<programlisting>
<![CDATA[
<Location /source>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Location>
]]>
</programlisting>
<simpara>
And then make a file named "source" and put it in your
web root directory.
</simpara>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<html>
<head>
<title>Source Display</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<?php
$script = getenv("PATH_TRANSLATED");
if (!$script) {
echo "<br /><b>ERROR: Script Name needed</b><br />";
} else {
if (ereg("(\.php|\.inc)$",$script)) {
echo "<h1>Source of: $PATH_INFO</h1>\n<hr />\n";
highlight_file($script);
} else {
echo "<h1>ERROR: Only PHP or include script names are allowed</h1>";
}
}
echo "<hr />Processed: ". date("Y/M/d H:i:s", time());
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
]]>
</programlisting>
<simpara>
Then you can use an URL like the one below to display a colorized
version of a script located in "/path/to/script.php"
in your web site.
</simpara>
<screen>
<![CDATA[
http://your.server.com/source/path/to/script.php
]]>
</screen>
</example>
</para>
<simpara>
See also <function>highlight_string</function>.
