Mediawiki <source> tag is not coloring my code section

I have a small wiki using MediaWiki 1.26.2 for personal use, within in one article with this section of text:

<source enclose=div lang=php>
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
</source>

And it is showing the next result:

syntaxhighlight without coloring

Instead of this:

syntaxhighlight with coloring

I mean, is formatted but without coloring at all, my understanding is that it should be colorful regardless the skin the wiki is using, so is there a configuration that I'm missing?

Seems there are still the same problems with SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi on MediaWiki 1.32.
Alternative is: Highlightjs
(it uses js for syntax highlihting)

It works out of box, even not necessary changing previously defining code syntax from SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi.

I was able to solved the problem, I'm posting the solution just in case someone else gets the same issue. I have my Wiki hosted in godaddy.com and as part of the service you can install Application out the box, one of them is MediaWiki, which already has the SyntaxHighlight extension installed.

For some reason I don't have clear enough, this extension was not working properly, so I decided to install the extension by my own from here and this time it worked like a charm.

The syntax highlighter extension is bundled with recent MediaWiki installations, but not installed by default. You need to enable it in your LocalSettings.php, like this (for MediaWiki 1.24 and newer):

wfLoadExtension( 'SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi' );
