Help Please

I don't know how to do this. I am trying to get php to echo php code as code and not parse it as php. For example:

<?php
 
echo "<?php echo "test"; ?>";
 
?>

I want that whole line <b><?php echo "test"; ?></b> to be displayed, not parsed as php. Any ideas? Probably a simple thing, im a newbie.

You need to use convert it into HTML entities to do this.

You can try this with htmlspecialchars() to convert all non-standard characters to HTML ones.

Here's an example:

<?php


echo(htmlspecialchars('<?php echo("foo"); ?>'));


?>

Thanks a lot!

Or you could have PHP do all the leg work and even give your source highlighting:

  highlight_string('<?php echo("foo"); ?>');

Note: You don't need echo because highlight_string echoes automatically. See the documentation for more.
