code coloring


Recommended Posts

Sometimes dreamweaver gets really confused about the code colouring. For example....

/"test/"

it would miss out one of the slashes and then get completely confused later and the quotation marks dont add up. Get what I mean? Stuff like that.

 

I'm using MX. I tried MX 2004 but I find its even worse. Does anynody else get this. Or, can anyone suggest a package that parses the syntax properly? I'm not so keen on a simple text editor (I like the file tree on the side of the screen).

 

Cheers

How about...

 

<?php

/////// COMMENT ////////

phpinfo();

?>

 

In MX <?php turns up as red and the comment as yellow. Which I quite like. In MX 2004 everythings just blue. Strings in quotes go red I think. I've tried changing the colors but to no avail.

 

Are you getting a red <?php in MX 2004 ?

Yes, in MX 2004 I get the <?php and ?> in red, and comments in yellow.

 

I think your getting them in blue because you are starting your document as a HTML document, when doing that all php code will turn blue until you save it as a php document.

 

To get your php syntax coloured from the start, when starting a new document, select the type as dynamic from the left hand side, then in the right hand side select PHP. All your code will now be coloured from the start.

I don't know if anyone noticed ot not...but your slashes are backwards

meaning.......they are

/
when they should be
\

 

if you wanted to escape the quotation marks

 

that could be why the coloring is off
