Formatted snippet to show code

I’ve seen a very nice effect on a number of blogs where code snippets were formatted and (somewhat) syntax highlighted.

I finally got a chance to do some digging and turned up the very cool javascript package called dp-highlighter.

In a nutshell, you put the dp-highlighter files in a folder on your website, then add the following code toward the bottom of any page that needs code highlighted:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="./dphighlighter/SyntaxHighlighter.css"></link>
<script language="javascript" src="dphighlighter/shCore.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="dphighlighter/shBrushVB.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="dphighlighter/shBrushXml.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
    dp.SyntaxHighlighter.ClipboardSwf = 'dphighlighter/clipboard.swf';
    dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('code');
</script>

Make sure you change the shBrushVB.js to whichever language parser you want to use. Just be sure to update the paths above.

Finally, for code you want to highlight, just stick it in a <PRE> tag, and add NAME=”code” CLASS=”VB”, if php then put CLASS="PHP" like this...

<pre name="code" class="vb">

Upload files and rename

We have faced some issue like file duplication or replacing image or file with same name when using upload function. 

Here is the tested script which checks exists files with being uploaded file and check if the same name is exists or not. If any file with the same name exist in your UPLOAD directory then it will rename your files with numeric post fix, that escape you from overwritten existing files. Hope it helps


<form name="form1" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<label>Upload files : </label><input type="file" name="file" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

<?php

$path = "upload/";
if($_POST['submit'])
{
$name = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$name = if_exist_rename($name,$path);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'],"upload/".$name))
    {
        echo "File uploaded successfully";
    }else
    {
        echo "Problem in Upload";
    }

}

function if_exist_rename($name,$path)   
{
$actual_name = pathinfo($name,PATHINFO_FILENAME);
$original_name = $actual_name;
$extension = pathinfo($name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

$i = 1;
while(file_exists($path.$actual_name.".".$extension))
    {          
       $actual_name = (string)$original_name.'-'.$i;
       $name = $actual_name.".".$extension;
       $i++;
    }
    return $name;
}
?>
