When you click one of my PHP code download links (for example, the Less WordPress plugin), you see the PHP source code on your screen, even though the file is a .php file. How do I stop the server executing the PHP code? With a WordPress plugin, of course.
Plaintext is a WordPress plugin that helps you to distribute your Web source code to an admiring public, whether it’s PHP, HTML, ASP or anything else. I’ve been tweaking it for a while, and now I thought I’d make it public.
I would really appreciate comments on the implementation. While testing Plaintext, I learned a lot about two areas in particular. In mod_rewrite, I couldn’t use RewriteRule’s type flag, apparently because of differences in PHP setup; and I couldn’t find a good way of finding out the file path of the blog home directory.
For more details and the plugin download, see the main Plaintext WordPress plugin page.
