PHP bbcode

[</Solidjeuh>]

Hello,

Is there a special bbcode for adding PHP and HTML code structure?
Like this one: https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... gphp-file/

That has always been built into phpBB by default (but has been removed in 3.2 though).
If you're using phpBB 3.1, you can use the [code=php][/code] structure.

structure.

Ooooow I didn't know that Thank you!
Then I'm gonna need bbcode in phpbb 3.2 soon ...

That's for 3.2.x, a syntax highlighter.

Really? Any idea why? I always thought that was a very cool feature.

It was a side-effect from introducing the new BBcode parser. Author JoshyPHP did in turn develop the extension that 3Di linked to, so anyone who wants to can still have the feature on their board.

Syntax highlighting in phpBB <= 3.1 used highlight_string() at posting time, which required the text be stored as a mix of HTML and other markup such as BBCodes. That's not the case anymore and re-implementing this feature on the server was not worth it considering there are better alternatives on the client.

Thanks both.

So if i use [code=php] now, the code will be broken in phpBB 3.2 ?
Then I need to edit all those posts

Did you realise how many times this bbcode has been used here at .com?
I don't see any broken post as for now, though. And we are on 3.2.x now here.

Yes correct! it just removes =php from the code, so it becomes a normal [code]

Code: Select all

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql'; //database type it may not be mysql
$dbhost = 'database host/domain';
$dbport = 'database port if not default';
$dbname = 'database name';
$dbuser = 'database user name';
$dbpasswd = 'database password';

$table_prefix = 'database table prefix';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
//@define('DEBUG', true);
//@define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

But there's no built-in alternative anymore.
BTW how to highlight the code here at phpbb.com now?
And why was it considered impossible to still use highlight_string() for codes with php parameter?
Because e.g. quotes having parameters are correctly parsed.

[JoshyPHP]

Posts used to be stored as HTML and that's not the case anymore. highlight_string() doesn't fit in that workflow.

Why cannot it be applied after posts are fetched from the database before displaying?
Just like quotes as I've said in my previous message.
