Ok, Im setting up a small tutorial section for my site that pulls the tutorials from a mysql database…

I have set up a

````auto
 tag which in php, before echoing searches for the opening and closing tag and makes a div to surround them.

I want to know, how could I have a 
```php
 tag with php syntax highlighting with it... ive got the function 

```php

<?php highlight_string(''); ?>

````

but im unsure how to add that to my current set up:

```php

[noparse]
 <?php
//Code Tags
    $bodynew1 = str_replace("

```

“, “\<div class=“codetitle”\>Code\<div class=“code”\>”, “$body”);  
$bodynew2 = str\_replace(”

````auto
", "</div></div>", "$bodynew1");
//PHP Tags
    $bodynew3 = str_replace("
```php
", "<div class=\"codetitle\">PHP<div class=\"code\">", "$bodynew2");
    $bodynew4 = str_replace("

````

", “”, “$bodynew3”);  
echo $bodynew4; ?\>  
[/noparse]

```auto
how would I add it?

Thanks.
```
