I'm confused because I don't see anywhere close to 113 lines in that code. Maybe that file is being included in another file which is causing the error? Anyway, try using a heredoc instead.

<?php   $code = <<<CODE<?php   etc etc?>CODE;   highlight_string($code);?>

You can also just break up the PHP tags:

<?php $code = " <" . "?php...?" . ">";
