PHP Code Syntax highlighting (pretty printing) for CLI.

Introducing a small library I wrote over the weekend which prints syntax highlighted (colored) PHP code into the terminal.

You can use it in any PHP CLI applications to pretty print PHP code OR to take screenshot of code and use somewhere.

Right now screenshot is manual process but it will soon be automated into this library so you can save a PNG image of your code.

Installation

$ composer require adhocore/cli-syntax

Usage

use Ahc\CliSyntax\Highlighter;

// PHP code
echo new Highlighter('<?php echo "Hello world!";');
// OR
echo (new Highlighter)->highlight('<?php echo "Hello world!";');

// PHP file
echo Highlighter::for('/path/to/file.php');
