Topic: Display php-code?
How have you done for displaying php-code in the posts, instead of running it?
I have that problem in my articles.
Please tell me! 
Re: Display php-code?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If you just output PHP code it won't run:
echo '<?php echo "bajs" ?>';
will not print out bajs. It will print out
<?php echo "bajs" ?>
Am I missing something?

Re: Display php-code?
"bajs" is not a nice word! 
I'll test what you just wrote. I really hope that it is not that easy!
Re: Display php-code?
for me displayes
echo "<? echo \"test\"; ?>";nothing.
What's wrong..?? :confused:
Re: Display php-code?
What is the problem? I think you have to tell me a little more about what you want to do.

Re: Display php-code?
I have text (and sometimes php-code) in a database.
I want to display the text and code, not run it.
Do you understand?
If I write:
echo "hej";
it displays "hej".
But if i write echo "<? echo\"hej\"; ?>";
it doesn't display <? echo "hej"; ?> it displays nothing!
Do you have any idea of what can be wrong?
Thank you!
Re: Display php-code?
Try running htmlspecialchars() on the text before outputting it.

Re: Display php-code?
Ah, now everything is displayed in text. Even the <br>'s. How can I get around that?
Re: Display php-code?
try running htmlspecialchars(str_replace("<br>", "\n", $text)) or something?
Re: Display php-code?
Well, you have to run htmlspecialchars() on the text before you convert \n to <br>.

Re: Display php-code?
Now I got it right!
I used:
get_article = stripslashes($article->get_text());
$get_article = htmlspecialchars($get_article);
echo nl2br($get_article);Thanks guys!
