 * hey dude 🙂
 * I have a topic asking how to use inline code, now I’d like to ask 2 more questions
 * 1) How can I use it directly with PHP, passing a variable as parameter to a function
   and it prints the markup to be converted to highlighted content, outside post
   content?
 * 2) How do I replace that small toolbar with icons to permanent toolbar with text
   like in [http://sltaylor.co.uk/blog/control-your-own-wordpress-custom-fields/](http://sltaylor.co.uk/blog/control-your-own-wordpress-custom-fields/)?

 * 1)
 *     ```
       global $SyntaxHighlighter;
       $SyntaxHighlighter->codeformat = 1;
       echo $SyntaxHighlighter->parse_shortcodes( '[php]<?php echo 'hello world'; ?>[/php]' );
       $SyntaxHighlighter->codeformat = false;
       ```
   
 * 2) You’re on your own for that one. It won’t be easy.

 * That is v1.x of the script: [http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/](http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/)
 * It’s not as good as v2.x of the script.
