SyntaxHighlighter with php to load page?

I am attempting to use Alex Gorbatchevs Syntax Highlighter in conjunction with a variety of java examples. Instead of copying and pasting each example into its own html page, I would love to use php to get the filename and path, and then load the text content in between the "pre" tags... something like

<?php
echo "<pre>";
include ("$filename");
echo "</pre>";
?>

Obviously, since it is in between the "pre" tags, this renders like

include("$filename");

with pretty highlighting... =P

Is there anything that will work for me? Or am I stuck with copying and pasting?

Solution

  • Are you sure? I have reproduced the scenario and works fine for me:

    code.php

    <? echo "this is my code"; ?>

    syntax.php

    <?
$filename = "code.php";

echo "<pre>";
include("$filename");
echo "</pre>";
?>

<script type="text/javascript">
     SyntaxHighlighter.all()
</script>

    output:

    1  this is my code
