Hey everyone,

As you could have read here, the current release of my code highlighter has some trouble with highlighting PHP on servers running PHP version 4. I told you I should try to fix the problem and include a better PHP highlighter in the next release.

I worked very hard this morning to get PHP fixed, and I’m proud to announce that PHP is almost working the way it should. That means: including servers running PHP4.

You want an example? Sure, here it is:

PHP Code Like It Should

<?php

/* Connect to a MySQL database using driver invocation */

$dsn = 'mysql:dbname=testdb;host=127.0.0.1';

$user = 'dbuser';

$password = 'dbpass';

try {

    $conn = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);

    $sql = 'SELECT name, color, calories FROM fruit ORDER BY name';

    foreach ($conn->query($sql) as $row) {

        echo $row['name'] . "\t";

        echo $row['color'] . "\t";

        echo $row['calories'] . "\n";

    }

} catch (PDOException $e) {

    echo 'Connection failed: ' . $e->getMessage();

}

?>

So, What’s Next?

After this highlighter is finished, I create one for JavaScript and properly one for Java. As soon as they all work the way it should, I will release version 1.1.

See you.
