Good support for viewing PHP files, especially if they are controlled on TFS

Excellent work, just what was needed for basic PHP editing without loading up Aptana.

Very basic and is exactly what I need for writing/editing/correcting php code. Must have for webdevs with VS2010.

BUG: HTML comments seem to ignore php tags.

by MarcF | October 11 2011

Perfect for viewing/reading php files in a familiar environment (VS) without having to download + learn a new IDE just to get some colour coding.
The outling support is an added bonus.

Look good, but some function still in black color.

      How do I associate .phtml files with this extension?
    • Written March 06, 2013 
      Currently this is not possible, but I'm working to resolve it for the coming update. Thank you!

      Similarly, can I parse .inc files as php?  I had hoped there was a way to set the extension on the options page under text editor.

      Are there any plans on bringing Visual Studio 2012 support to this extension? It would be appreciated.
    • Written March 06, 2013 
      Absolutely! I'm working out a few more bugs and an update should be available within the next week. If you want to try a prerelease build, you can email me at the address in my profile.

      I installed the add on, but I cannot seem to find a tutorial on how to use it to get the highlighters functional.

      As long as you are using a supported version of Visual Studio (Express editions are not supported), simply open a .php file to start working. :)

      Does this extension supports PHP programming in Windows GUI Development? or else only Web Development
    • Written March 29, 2012 
      This extension is currently pretty bare-bones. It should be able to open any file which includes the <?php ... ?> tags to delimit blocks of code, but doesn't support a full project or build system, debugging, or designers (for GUI or web).

    Can I install this extension on VS2010 Express?

      I not found this extension on VS2010 Express but can in VS2010 Prof.

      Microsoft limits the type of extensions which can be installed with Express editions of Visual Studio. The restrictions prevents extensions which add support for new languages, but you'll have to look up the license agreement for your installation to get a full list of affected items.
