Syntax highlighting problem

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying out the shareware version of TextPad while writing some php/html. The thing is, although the file has the .php extension, it seems to be highlighting it just as html (since the file contains both), which is causing problems with escaping ". Is there anyway to get TextPad to recognise sections of html and php properly?

Found this using Search, it mentions using the php4html.syn file, take a look here. HTH

It is described as: "Syntax definition file, which adds (TextPad Standard) HTML syntax highlighting, to a PHP source file - permitting easier reading of PHP & HTML intermixed code. It's using the latest PHP4.1 syntax definition file. Contributed by Anonymous, 28 April 2002."
