Quoting PHP code in a .php file???

Georges Trottier

I am new to PHP and I want to quote the followong content into a Web page

<html>
<head><title>Connect Server</title></head>
<body>
<?
$link = mysql_connect("localhost",$_POST['username'],$_POST['password'])or
die("Connect Error: ".mysql_error());
print "Successfully connected.\n";
mysql_close($link);
?>
</body>
</html>

The Web page is generated by a xxx.php file and what I want to be q quote is
executed rather than displayed. I have tried to surround it with block
formatting HTML elements such as <blockquote> or <pre> but the PHP code
surrounded by "<?" and "?>" always get executed and throws errors.

How can I simply quote it and display it on the page?

Thank yoy

Georges

How do you get the contents you're trying to display?

Try these:
http://www.php.net/htmlentities
http://www.php.net/highlight_file

In HTML, you must change the '<'s so that the browser does
not interpret them as the beginnings of markup. The built-
in function htmlspecialchars serves this purpose. It
converts so-called special characters to their entity
references.
