At  this moment (php4.1.1) the function "highlight_string" has the following
syntax:


[quote]
bool highlight_string ( string str)
This function prints out a syntax highlighted version of str using the
colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP. Returns TRUE or
FALSE.
[/quote]



The function will be more flexible if it returns a string (with highlights)
and nothing is printed directly. 

str highlight_string ( string str)
This function returns a string containing a syntax highted version of str
using the colors defined in the built-in syntax highlighter for PHP. Returnes a string with syntax-highlighted html

ob_start();
highlight_string($str);
$ob = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

wrap this in a function.

Not so fast, Derick actually did this already in CVS:

ChangeLog:
- Added optional parameter to highlight_string and highlight_file which makes these functions return a highlighted string instead of dumping to standard output. 


It's just not documented at all.
