You can use highlight_string(): http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php

<?php
$string = '
<?php 
    if($c==1)
    {
        echo $c;
    }
?>
';

echo highlight_string($string,true);
?>

I Don't want to heighlight My <?php ?> tag , Is there any other way to show ... without heiglighting???

You can use a CSS rule:

<style type="text/css">
code span { color: #000 !important; };
</style>

or just change the highlight_string() function with htmlentities():

echo '<pre><code>';
echo htmlentities($string);
echo '</code></pre>';

bye! :)

You need to use htmlentities() to echo the code OR you can use &gt; for > and &lt; for <. Alternatively you can use the nowdoc syntax if you need literals for variables - however it doesn't like '<?php' and '?>' and it parses html tags .

NOWDOC (probably not worth it):

<code>
<pre>
<?php
echo <<<'EOT'
&lt;?php 
if($c==1)
{
echo $c;
}
?&gt;

EOT;
?>
</pre>
</code>

USE &gt; etc:

<code>
<pre>
&lt;?php
if($c==1)
{
echo $c;
}
?&gt;
</pre>
</code>

HTMLENTITIES:

<code>
<pre>
<?php
echo htmlentities("<?php
if($c==1)
{
echo $c;
}
?>");
?>
</pre>
</code>
