# highlight_string

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

highlight_string -- Syntax highlighting of a string

## Description

``bool highlight_string` (string str)`

The highlight_string() function prints out a syntax highlighted version of `str` using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP. Returns `TRUE` on success, `FALSE` on failure.

> Tip: As with anything that outputs its result directly to the browser, you can use the output-control functions to capture the output of this function, and save it - for example - in a string.

See also highlight_file(), show_source().
