how to color code output of a textbox 1

[martinb7]

Hi, i was wondering how you could color code the output of a textbox.

e.g. if the textbox contained <?php how could you make it change fontcolor to red then display it on a page??

is it something to do with the str_replace() function??

any ideas??

thanx

sorry if it wasn't clear. what i want is something like the php.net website -

http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

see how they color coded all the php functions etc??

i would like it so if in a textbox for example there was:

<?php
echo("Hi");
?>

when you submit a form, it goes to another page where it displays exactly whats in the textarea but color coded so <?php would be red for example.

any ideas?

take a look to "highlight-file()"
