一个php实现的简单语法高亮显示的函数，注意：这个函数设计的比较简单，可能对某些语法不能高亮显示，你可以自己扩充该函数的功能.
function syntax_highlight($code){
// this matches --> "foobar" <--
$code = preg_replace(
'/"(.*?)"/U',
'"<span style="color: #007F00">$1</span>"', $code
);
// hightlight functions and other structures like --> function foobar() <---
$code = preg_replace(
'/(\s)\b(.*?)((\b|\s)\()/U',
'$1<span style="color: #0000ff">$2</span>$3',
$code
);
// Match comments (like /* */):
$code = preg_replace(
'/(\/\/)(.+)\s/',
'<span style="color: #660066; background-color: #FFFCB1;"><i>$0</i></span>',
$code
);
$code = preg_replace(
'/(\/\*.*?\*\/)/s',
'<span style="color: #660066; background-color: #FFFCB1;"><i>$0</i></span>',
$code
);
// hightlight braces:
$code = preg_replace('/(\(|\[|\{|\}|\]|\)|\->)/', '<strong>$1</strong>', $code);
// hightlight variables $foobar
$code = preg_replace(
'/(\$[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/', '<span style="color: #0000B3">$1</span>', $code
);
/* The \b in the pattern indicates a word boundary, so only the distinct
** word "web" is matched, and not a word partial like "webbing" or "cobweb"
*/
// special words and functions
$code = preg_replace(
'/\b(print|echo|new|function)\b/',
'<span style="color: #7F007F">$1</span>', $code
);
return $code;
}

// some code comment:
