Ciconia - A New Markdown Parser for PHP is a good one I found.

You just need 3 things to do :

1.Install Ciconia and parse file according to the document.
2. Add corresponding css theme to make it nice, like github markdown style or here.
3. Add syntax highlighting javascript, like google Javascript code prettifier.

Then everything will look pretty good.

If you want a complete example, here is my working demo for github style markdown:

addExtension(new Gfm\FencedCodeBlockExtension());
$ciconia->addExtension(new Gfm\TaskListExtension());
$ciconia->addExtension(new Gfm\InlineStyleExtension());
$ciconia->addExtension(new Gfm\WhiteSpaceExtension());
$ciconia->addExtension(new Gfm\TableExtension());
$ciconia->addExtension(new Gfm\UrlAutoLinkExtension());
$contents = file_get_contents('Readme.md');
$html = $ciconia->render($contents);
?>
