Display PHP code in text area help.

Hi, I have a text area, and I would like to display data from example.php into it, for example.

I want this to show in the text area, but obviously with my own.

<?php
$var = "var";
$var2 = "var";
?>

So basically, the PHP code from the file.
If anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just echo what you need inside the form, someting like this

Code:

<textarea>

<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>

</textarea>

That would work but I mean display the variables from an existing file, so when you update the code, the file is updated, therefore the text inside the text area is updated.

I have an alternative for now, just useful if anyone can help with the displaying of a complete php file.

Perhaps you could get some use out of these PHP functions:

highlight_file():

highlight_string():
http://se.php.net/manual/en/function...ght-string.php

Good luck :)
