Hey guys,
Before I begin, let me make clear that I know about syntax highlighters already in existance (like GeSHi). However, I want to create one (with your help :ne: ) that’s compact and built specifically for AS.
I borrowed the syntax from GeSHi:

'STYLES'=>array(
'KEYWORDS'=>array(
1=>'color:#b1b100;',

'STRINGS'=>'color:#ff0000;',
'NUMBERS'=>'color:#cc66cc;',
'SYMBOLS'=>'color:#66cc66;'

);
and I started building it, but with no real direction.
Here’s what I have so far (directly underneath the first code example in the same file):
$str = "/*----- some comment*/
function arg(hey) {
if(stuff == 4) {
trace('hi');
}
//nice!
trace('hello world');
return stuff;
}";
$str = str_replace(" "," ",$str);
# single-line comments
$str = preg_replace_callback("#//([\S\s]*)?\r#U", "doFormat", $str);
# multi-line comments
$str = preg_replace_callback("#/\*([\S\s]*)?\*/#U", "doFormat", $str);
# quotes
# keywords
for($i=0; $i<count($as['KEYWORDS'][1]); $i++) {
$who = $as['KEYWORDS'][1][$i];
$new = "<font style='{".$as['STYLES']['KEYWORDS'][1]."}'><a href='wiki.php?id=".strtolower($who)."'>".$who."</a></font>";
$str = str_replace($who,$new,$str);
}
for($i=0; $i<count($as['KEYWORDS'][1]); $i++) {
$who = $as['KEYWORDS'][2][$i];
$new = "<font style='{".$as['STYLES']['KEYWORDS'][2]."}'><a href='wiki.php?id=".strtolower($who)."'>".$who."</a></font>";
$str = str_replace($who,$new,$str);
}
# symbols
# function doFormat
function doFormat($m) {
global $as;
$code = "<font style='{".$as['STYLES']['COMMENTS']."}'>".$m[0]."</font>";
return $code;
}
# function doCode
function doCode($m) {
$swap = '';
for ($i=0; $i < strlen($m[1]); $i++) {
$swap .= '&#'.ord($m[1]{$i}).';';
}
return $swap;
}
# replace all newlines with breaks
$str = str_replace("\r","<br />",$str);
echo $str;
?>
</body>
</html>
Does anyone have any tips on how to get this thing working? If nothing else, it’s a good PHP-learning experience
