Problem with PHP syntax highligting 4.3pre9
Submitted by ovidiu on Wednesday, 4 April, 2007 - 20:37
Hello,

Since I updated to 4.3pre9, the PHP syntax highlighting gets broken after encountering escaped strings. Example:

$string = "something\"";
$highlighting = "is_now_broken";

It's very annoying, especially for long files. Does anybody have any idea for a fix? Thank you.

I've been irritated vby the same issue.

The fix I found was: In the modes/php.xml file under where you installed jEdit, remove the ESCAPE="\" on line 184. Originally that line reads:

<RULES SET="PHP_LITERAL1" ESCAPE="\" DEFAULT="LITERAL1">

After changing, it should read:

<RULES SET="PHP_LITERAL1" DEFAULT="LITERAL1">

That seems to fix it for me.
 
Hooray!
