    Ever wondered how someone posts the source of their PHP, and in color? Here's how! http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-file.php

    Step 1: save the following code as source.php

    PHP:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Source Display</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="white">
    <?php
        $script     = getenv("PATH_TRANSLATED");
        if (!    $script) {
            echo     "<br /><b>ERROR: Script Name needed</b><br />";
        } else {
            if (    ereg("(\.php|\.inc)$",$script)) {
                echo     "<h1>Source of: $PATH_INFO</h1>\n<hr />\n";
                    highlight_file($script);
            } else {
                echo     "<h1>ERROR: Only PHP or include script names are allowed</h1>"; 
            }
        }
        echo     "<hr />Processed: ". date("Y/M/d H:i:s", time());
    ?>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    From here, there are 2 ways to go.

    If you have access to your server's httpd.conf file, add the following into it:
    From here, all you would have to do is to reference your code like so: webdesignforums.net/source/whatever.php

    If you don't have access to your httpd.conf file, then you can reference the same file like so:
    webdesignforums.net/source.php/whatever.php

    Note: Either way you go, don't forget to replace webdesignforums.net with your domain name. And this will only work with php files in the same directory or in a sub-directory, so this will not work with php files hosted on other sites. Because PHP is a server-side language, this is not possible.

    Actually there is a much easier way to do this.

    PHP:

    <?php
     
    $file     = $_GET["file"];
     
    show_source($file);
     
    ?>
    Save that file as source.php and you have it. You can then view the source of a file by going to http://www.my-site.com/source.php?file=whatever.xxx

    Obviously, you will get errors if the file does not exist, or if you don't have proper permissions on the file.
