php syntax coloring fixes (please test)
Hi all, I've done quite a bit of work on the php syntax coloring, mainly getting variable interpolation in strings to color correctly (including hilighting syntax errors.). I've also added nowdoc support, and added the new keywords. Please grab the latest version from here: https://gitorious.org/jasonwoof/vim-syntax/blobs/raw/master/php.vim and place it in ~/.vim/syntax/ (creating that directory if necessary) Then open up a php file and see if it colors correctly. Bonus points if you try all sorts of interpolation syntaxes. At the moment I'm particularly interested to know if I've broken anything. Sometime in a week or three-ish I'll be submitting this to Bram for inclusion in the next release. Bugs, suggestions, feedback and feature requests for php.vim are welcome. Note that I don't follow vim-dev, so e-mail me directly, or use my contact form: http://jasonwoof.com/contact.html I think I can subscribe to this thread, so replying here should work too.

Re: php.vim fixed, need help getting it applied
Nobody but Bram has commit access. Interesting. So what's the protocol here? Can I try to get the patch to him? Or does this patch have to sit in the ether for years until someone is willing to be the maintainer of php.vim? I'm hoping there's some kind of fallback mechanism for when a syntax file doesn't have a maintainer. It's been almost 5 months since I submitted the patch. The question is, would you take maintainership of the syntax file? I don't follow the mailing list, which I assume is a prerequisite. I'm happy to test patches for the php syntax hilighter if someone lets me know about them though. Does that help? Take care,- Jason -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist.

vim.org is down
Dear [web] admins, There is no A record for the domain name vim.org. That is, this link shouldn't work: http://vim.org/ Some browsers have a hack, where upon getting a failed DNS response, will try adding www. to the beginning, but some won't. And some of us use a DNS resolver (like opendns) that brings us to a search page for things with no A record. It is extremely rare for a site not to work without (the admitedly redundant) www. prefix. Now I'll admit, that people who type domain names tend to be more technical, and that people will mostly be able to find your site anyway, but it is irritating, needlessly wastes people's time, and makes you look bad. More than once, I've typed vim.org in the address bar, gotten an error page, then went to google to find your site. Please make http://vim.org/ work, either my redirecting to http://www.vim.org/ or as an alternate address. Thank you,- Jason -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist. Do not top-post!

php.vim fixed, need help getting it applied
I've e-mailed Peter Hodge about this twice (once three months ago, and
once one month ago) and I've gotten no response, so I need someone
else to do something about getting this patch in, or connecting with
the right people. I don't know anybody here, so I don't know who/how
to nag.
Here's my message about it: (patch at the end)
It's been bugging me for ages that php.vim doesn't hilight \ in
double quotes, and I just found another bug in my code because I
again forgot that single quotes in php treat \\ and \' sequences
specially.
So I wrote a patch to fix it. As I just wrote to vim_dev, this
patch:
1) hilights \\ and \' in single quoted strings
2) hilights \ in double quoted strings
That's all. I hope you will merge this patch (or something with the
same effect) so others won't make the mistake I've made too many
times of assuming that strlen('\\') == 2.
Oh, and in case you read the crappy documentation on the syntax of
single-quoted strings, please know that \\ inside single quoted
strings always results in a single backslash, regardless of its
position in the string. There has been an update to the
documentation committed:
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/en/trunk/language/types/string.xml?r1=304133amp;r2=304132amp;pathrev=304133
Though (ymmv) the update hasn't made it to the live documentation
site as of this writing.
Thank you, - Jason
