gedit php highlighting [SOLVED]

[seelts]

Hi

I'm using gedit to write php, html, js, css etc... But yesterday I've encountered the problem: gedit has stopped to highlight php code. I don't know what was the reason.
Can you help me please to fix that.
I've already tried to reinstall gedit, but it doesn't influence the php highlighting. Other languages have highlighting, but not php.

Thanks,
Ilya.

It may not be built to highlight php. Its not that advanced for a text editor but Bluefish should work if you want to try.

Try to reinstall gtksourceview. If it doesn't help, try to locate the file 'php.lang' (should be in /usr/share/gtksourceview-[...]/language-specs). If it's not there, try to post a note saying it's not there :)

Additionally, check the preferences. For me, Plugins -> modelines, Fonts & Colors -> Classic.

GEdit has limited syntax color coding in PHP (which is fine with me).

i can't see pure gtksourceview package.

I've reinstalled libgtksourceview 1, 2. But nothing has changed....
php.lang is present in that places.

Additionally, check the preferences. For me, Plugins -> modelines, Fonts & Colors -> Classic.

turning modelines on or off and changing color theme has no effect on highlighting. ((

Highlighting works for me without problems, can you post a screenshot of your gedit with a php file in it?
Do you actually have 'PHP' entry in View/Highlight Mode/Sources/Scripts/PHP?
Are you saving the file with .php extension?

Everybody,
please excuse me, that was my fault - i've checked the file that had no opening "<?php" and closing "?>".


How can I mark this topic as SOLVED?

You can try to edit your first post and change its subject ;). Glad it worked out, sometimes I also do a mistake which is obvious when you know it, but when you don't it looks like an unsolvable problem ;).
