coloring of source code

The color coding was accomplished by a perl syntax highlighter known as the beautifier (www.beautifier.org), later ported to php. Alternatively, there are two built-in php functions known as highlight_string() and highlight_file() which output syntax highlighted PHP. For example,

<?php
highlight_string('<?php phpinfo(); ?>');
?>
