I am writing a blog and when I display code, I usually do so like this:

< pre > < code > Code Goes Here < / code > < / pre>

But it will not display the starting of php <?php or the end ?> and I really need it to. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

To display special characters in HTML, you must escape them.

< - &lt;
> - &gt;
& - &amp;
" - &quot;
' - &#039;

So in your case, you want

<pre><code>&lt;?php (PHP CODE HERE) ?&gt;</code></pre>

(Also notice the order of closing tags must match the order of opening tags.

I am not sure how blogs work but you can try the php function "highlight_string();" like this:

<?php
highlight_string('<?php phpinfo(); ?>');
?>

It will output the ('input') as a string with colorcoding. check out its php documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php
