Description
mixed
highlight_string ( string str [, bool return])
The highlight_string() function outputs a syntax
highlighted version of str using the colors defined
in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP.
If the second parameter return is set to TRUE
then highlight_string() will return the highlighted
code as a string instead of printing it out. If the second parameter is
not set to TRUE then highlight_string() will
return TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.
Note:
The return parameter became available in PHP
4.2.0. Before this time it behaved like the default, which is FALSE
See also highlight_file(), and
show_source().
