function var_view($var)
{

    ini_set("highlight.keyword", "#a50000;  font-weight: bolder");
    ini_set("highlight.string", "#5825b6; font-weight: lighter; ");

    ob_start();
    highlight_string("");
    $highlighted_output = ob_get_clean();

    $highlighted_output = str_replace( ["<?php","?>"] , '', $highlighted_output );

    echo $highlighted_output;
    die();
}
