This project is a fork of php.vim--Garvin which in turn is an update of the php.vim script which in turn is an updated version of the php.vim syntax file distributed with Vim. Whew!
- Spell checking was enabled in strings and comments (both single and multi-line).
- Spell checking was enabled in heredocs, e.g.,
<<<EOD. - The PHP built-in and extension-provided functions list was updated for PHP 5.3.
- Compatibility with html5.vim.
- Support for not-so-common extensions was turned off, e.g.,
mssql_*. - Basic support for PHP 5.4 syntax was added.
A script update_syntax.php is provided to re-generate the syntax file.
A single variable $allowed_extensions can be customised to
turn on/off certain extensions.
When re-generating the syntax file, you must have allowed extensions installed.
This is an updated version of the php.vim syntax file distributed with VIM. The list of PHP constants, functions, and classes was updated to be current with PHP 5.3. Many new classes were added in the 5.2 branch and the distributed version only covers up to 5.1.4. In addition I simplified the file, removing several sections that are not often used (at least by me) such as automatic folding of all control structures and ASP tags support. I also removed several switches designed for b/c with VIM 5.X and 6.X. As an addition I have included the PHP file I used to generate the constant, function, class list. It uses reflection to mine out these items from your PHP installation and generate part of the php.vim script. Before running open up the file and adjust the output file location and the list of extensions to generate syntax for. Then run "php php_vimgen.php" from your shell.
