TextPad for website developing (php)

Hi guys...

I know texpad from a long time, but I used it only for java coding.

Now I would like to use it for html/php purpose, so I associated the file extensions et voila'.

Unfortunately, the code is not colored, and also I would like to have a directory tree browser in the left so I can browse my ftp server and edit the files directly.

Can someone help me to pimp my TextPad?

Syntax files exist for HTML at: http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/synh2m.html

Yes, I saw this page, but I did a search and the string "php" was not found neither the string "xhtml".

What I should download? the two "html" packages?

I don't use either of those syntaxes, so I cannot advise you.

But you could download both, and use a Text Editor like TextPad to modify them to your specific needs, and save them as your own php/xhtml syntax file. See the Help section about Syntax Definition Files.

If it seems to work for you, then you could submit your syntax file to the library for others to use. That is how this library has been built up, it is mostly user contributions.

Good luck.

As the given page holds the syntax files for H to M, it might be a good idea to go to the syntax file page for N to T to find PHP and to U to Z for xhtml.

Oh... that was a good point

Thank you
