Highlighting PHP with semantic HTML

Forget about AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps or highlight_string(). This is way better. Not only because it validates under a strict doctype, but it's semantic fluff and completely stylable with CSS.

Inspired by Tom-Eric.

Note: some tokens from http://php.net/tokens are missing, cause I haven't updated this in a while. But you'll get the idea :)

Usage

Should be kinda obvious, but here goes for some of the Belgians out there (and of course for posterity) :-).

<?php
  $parser = new Highlighter();
  $c = file_get_contents('file.php');
  echo $parser->HighlightPHP($c);
?>

Or

<?php
  $parser = new Highlighter();
  $parser->highlightBrackets = false;
  $c = file_get_contents('file.php');
  echo $parser->HighlightPHP($c);
?>
