vim php with weird extensions
 

Hey,

What do I need to add to the .vimrc file so that files with the extension .somethingelse are recognized as PHP files by Vim so that I get all the colour coding.

Thanks,

David

Hi,

Locate vim's filetype.vim file (/usr/share/vim/vim62/filetype.vim or alike).

Open it and look for the following lines

" Php3
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.php,*.php3 setf php

Add .somethingelse to *.php,*.php3
You should end up with something like this:

" Php3
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.php,*.php3,*.somethingelse setf php

That should do the trick.

Hope this helps.

Thanks it worked great, only difference was that my folder was vim63 and not vim62.

Merry Christmas!

David
