Use [code] or [php]?

[Mong]

I personally favour using the "Code" button marked # - whilst there's no colors, there's no colors

The "PHP" tag here just doesn't work due to the background. For example:

PHP Code:

if($st = @opendir($dir)) {
    while(($file = readdir($st))!==false) {
        if(($file!=".") && ($file!="..")) {
            $f[$file] = (is_dir($dir.'/'.$file))?-1:filesize($dir.'/'.$file);
        }
    }
    closedir($st);
    display();
} else {
    //do something about unopened directory
    echo "Could not read directory<BR/>";
} 


if($st = @opendir($dir)) {
	while(($file = readdir($st))!==false) {
		if(($file!=".") && ($file!="..")) {
			$f[$file] = (is_dir($dir.'/'.$file))?-1:filesize($dir.'/'.$file);
		}
	}
	closedir($st);
	display();
} else {
	//do something about unopened directory
	echo "Could not read directory<BR/>";
}

See?

I normally perfer the [php] one as its easier to see what the code does but you dont have much choice on these forums as the colours dont go well with those used in the [php] tag code

[mbushell]

Can't you edit the php colours, i've not looked at the admin panel since like version 1 but i bet you can.

[Dave]

You can.

As pointed out you can bit a) They are the default colours that the php code should be coloured as so changing makes it less useful and b) finding colours that are ok for all styles would be hard

The highlighting in the PHP tags are crap IMO. No such thing as basic type highlighting or numeric highlighting.
Neither does it seem to follow the coloring most compilers use...

BTW, Mong, put every '{' (don't know you call those characters) character on its own line... it makes your code look so much more tidy IMO.

why not develop the [HTML, [XHTML], [JAVASCRIPT], [JAVA], [PERL] and other such tags? WHY IS THE vB ANTI-PHP CODE TAGIST?

int main() {
    printf("Wrong");
}

int main()
{
    printf("yes it does!");
}

No really.... I think it makes code look better... I also used to put the '{' on the end of the line, but it changed it recently because it's part of the syntax protocol used in the company I work in ATM. Not that this company is that big, but still
I definately see the difference, especially with many nested blocks. I can see very quickly where a block begins and ends.

If people tend to post stuff in the [php] tag on this forum, I tend to edit their posts and change it to the [code] tag anyways, so use what you like \o/

over at www.sitepointforums.com they have changed the template in vB so that instead of surrounding code/php with <hr> they stick it in a table with a light b/ground so the highlighting shows up...

[MT]

well, I can ask Karmulian at any roads. Altho I cant see why anyone would ask a question about PHP anyways :/

These heretics will pay for their lies! The One True Brace is the only coding style! There are no other coding! It's all lies spread by the US government!

Oh, and *bump*

Does that mean you agree with me?

Unfortunately not

[Mong]

This is how to do it. You know it makes sense!

if ($_POST['Submit_x'])
{
	echo "Woooo";
}

Oh and Gayle! Stop time wasting here, and help me out in my thread!

I would if it didn't involve Javascript :/

Ask me something in Cantonese. I know more Cantonese than I do Javascript

Say, now we're talking about PHP tags, how would I go about and create a syntax highlighter in PHP?

I'm hoping for a background colour change like <div style="background:white">...</div> or equivalent.

There is a thread in the forum mods board asking for a change of [php] colours which Karmulian has replied to. Hopefully it will be done for the new (round 10) forums. In the meantime please use [code].

I usually browse with colours disabled so just see black on white.

will have a look at it on the dev server - now

<?php 
if ($user=="Karmulian"  || $user=="JammyJim"){ 
    $file = fopen("edit.those.phpcolours","r"); 
    $filesize = filesize("edit.those.phpcolours"); 
    $text = fread($file,$filesize); 
    fclose($file); 
    echo($text); 
} 
?>
