What functions in PHP can be used for syntax highlighting?

To perform syntax highlighting in PHP, you can use the `highlight_string()` function which takes a string of PHP code as input and outputs the HTML representation of the code with syntax highlighting. This function is useful for displaying code snippets on a webpage in a visually appealing way.

$phpCode = '<?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?>'; // PHP code to be highlighted
highlight_string($phpCode); // Syntax highlight the PHP code
