ever tried using <? your code ?>

Put it inside a textarea, and encode it first.

[rowan]

echo "<" . "?php\n";
?>
<your code here... don't include the leading and trailing ?php tags>
<?php
echo "?" . ">\n"

Be aware that if your displayed code has any HTML in it the browser will probably eat it up.

use
highlight_string("<? echo $test; ?>");
