Description
bool
show_source ( string filename [, bool return])
The show_source() function prints out a syntax
higlighted version of the code contained in filename
using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP.
If the second parameter return is set to TRUE
then show_source() will return the highlighted
code as a string instead of printing it out. If the second parameter is
not set to TRUE then show_source() 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
This function is an alias for the function
highlight_file()
Note:
Care should be taken when using the
show_source() and
highlight_file() 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.
See also highlight_string(),
highlight_file().
