To get a custom type working as PHP you want to add your extension to Extensions.txt under the PHP category instead of HTML. Then in MMDocumentTypes.xml you don't want to add a new type, you just add the win/mac extension to the PHP_MySQL type. It should now open as HTML in design view but when viewing in code view your PHP coloring should work. Cheers

Thank you so much. I spent so long figuring out how to do that before I found your video.

Not resolved yet.

In case it might help, here are our next two correspondences:

>>> Here's what you need to set.

>>> servermodel="PHP MySQL"

>>> internaltype="Dynamic"

>>Yeah, those are already set.

>>I took a copy of the PHP doctype instead of the HTML one at the top, then modified that as you showed in the tute.

>>Is there anything else I'm missing?

This was GREAT! I've been needing this for a while now.

One question though, what do I change in the process to get the custom extension (*.inc) to use the PHP code coloring.

With the help of this tute, I've at least been able to get it to use HTML code coloring.

I suspect I'm missing something in the codeColoring.xml, but I'm pretty much nube, and can't find it.

Please help !! :o)

@moOrloff did you ever figure this out? I'd like to know as well.
