    From the PHP docs:

    mixed highlight_file ( string $filename [, bool $return = false ] )
    

    So, use $code = highlight_file($_POST['filename'], true);

    As a side-note: You do realize that this allows anyone with access to that script to read the code of all your files (PHP and other)? This includes any config files etc. which might contain database passwords.
