phpbb-tag

[Mas*Mind]

It would be cool if a [php] bbcode-tag will be added:


$bbcode=preg_replace("/(\[php])(.*)(\[\/php\])/siUe", "highlite('\\2')",$bbcode);

function highlite($text)
{ ob_start();
highlight_string(stripslashes($text));
$buffer = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

return nl2br($buffer);
}


This will highlite all php-code within the php-tags

Example:

yeah, such an add would be very nice. And the code should work for other languages as well (mostly anyway).

[JamesUS]

Seeing as it is similar to the code tag, maybe the two could work togethor, eg [code lang=php]
Hopefully we could find some libraries somewhere for other langs (if there are any).

[JohnM]

That's awesome... how can you get it to call a function with the results of the regexp? cooolll...

BTW, the demo seems to be down...

[Wayne Luke]

I think this is a good idea as well. You could use "Syntax files" to add new languages if needed to your forum. This would require more than regular expressions though. The CODE tag would have to become intelligent.

Particularly preg_replace and the modifiers. (/e)

[Mike Sullivan]

Hmm.. one problem: PHP4 only. That alone might be enough to take it out (use a switch perhaps)

[JohnM]

Cool, thanks :)

[Mas*Mind]

JamesUS > The difference is, the syntax will now be color-highlighted. And it works for almost every language, even html will be hightlighted (to a certain limit)

Ed > PHP4 only? You mean the e modifier? Where did you read that?

[Mike Sullivan]

No, the e's in PHP3 to my knowledge :) I meant every other function (almost).

All the output buffering and (the key), highlight_string are PHP4 specific.

[Mas*Mind]

damn, you're right :(

But then, it would be a very cool addon to hack in :D

[Mike Sullivan]

Well, you could detect the PHP version [someone said floor(phpversion()) will return 3 or 4 -- I haven't tried it]. If it's PHP4, use the PHP syntax highlighting, otherwise, translate -> [ code] and -> [ /code].

Still, would be one sweet add on :) I think I'll add it into vBo once that relaunch actually happens (we're all slacking it seems ;))

Yes, that wouldn't be too difficult. There is another reason to use PCRE (preg_...) expressions instead of the POSIX (ereg_...) ones; The PCRE are known to be twice as fast as the POSIX ones

Part of our forums will be dedicated to scripting and we would like to have syntax highlighting for a bunch of different languages like VBscript, JScript, Perl, Python, etc...

Is there an addon for this yet? If not, can someone give me a push in the right direction to create syntax highlighting templates? I don't mind writing them, I just don't know how to integrate/implement them.

I believe John actually released a hack a long time ago that did VB code. You could adapt it for other languages I'm sure. Check vBulletin.org.

[cybrcyfr]

Yep, I meant other languages. I see how you do it with the php language, quite simple php_highlight() or somehting like that.

I looked on vB.org and didn't see anything...

Thanks!

[John]

There is one for Visual Basic somewhere there, which shouldn't be too hard to adapt for others.

[Wayne Luke]

Do a search for visbas.php on vBulletin.org. If you can't find it, let me know, I have it.

[cybrcyfr]

I found a VB library, now I will extend it for JScript, Python, Perl, and TCL.

I will post them somewhere when I get them done...
