ob_start();
highlight_string($search);
$colorsource = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

I tried that, and it didnt work, caused so many errors :/

Heres the actual search page code!

search.php wrote: <?

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM unz_news WHERE info LIKE '%$search%' OR title LIKE '%$search%' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 9");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($query);
if($num_rows <= 0)

{print "<font face='$font' size='2'>No results for $search, try again...</font>";}

else

{while($search = mysql_fetch_object($query))
{{{$search->info = nl2br($search->info);
$search->info = parseCode($search->info);

if ($search->infolong != '')
{$fullsearch = " - <a href='index.php?section=fullnews&id=$search->id' class='navbar'>View the full story</a>";}
else
{$fullsearch = "";}

if ($search->source != '')
{$source = " - <a href='$search->source' target='_blank' class='navbar'>News Source</a>";}
else
{$source = "";}

if ($search->important == 'yes')
{$important = "<img src='images/icons/important.gif' title='Important'>";}
else
{$important = "";}

if($search->nocom > 13)
{$hot = "<img src='images/icons/flame.gif' title='Hot topic!'>";}
else
{$hot = "";}

if($search->nocom >0)
{$nocomments = "<a href ='index.php?section=fullnews&id=$search->id' class='navbar'>$search->nocom Comments</a>";}
else
{$nocomments = "<a href ='index.php?section=fullnews&id=$search->id'>Comment</a>";}}}

print "<table width='100%' border='1' align='center' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='0' bordercolor='#000000'>
<tr align='left' valign='top'>
<td colspan='2' background='images/bg/bg_grey.gif' class='standard' valign="middle" ><font color='#FFFFFF' face='$font' size='2'><strong>$search->title $hot $important</font></strong></font></td>
</tr>
<tr align='left' valign='top'>
<td colspan='2' background='images/bg/bg_table.gif' class='standard'><font face='$font' size='2'>$search->info

<strong>:: $search->username :: " . datetimeformat("j/n/y g:i", $search->date) . " ::</strong></font></td>
</tr>
<td background='images/bg/bg_grey.gif' class='standard'><font face='$font' size='2' color='#FFFFFF' >[$nocomments$source$fullsearch] Read $search->noread times</font></table>
";}}
