What I am trying to do is: <?php ini_get('session.gc_maxlifetime'); There are only 150 or so possibilities for the argument to ini_get(), I am trying to highlight them. If I make a spelling mistake or put in the wrong item, then I would want to highlight the error: <?php // should only highlight 'session.gc_' as correct // 'axlifetime' highlights as Error ini_get('session.gc_axlifetime'); // the whole 'not.a_real_option' string should be higlighted as an error // (except for the quotes) ini_get('not.a_real_option'); So I use the following commands to set it all up: " find the ini_get function syntax keyword phpFunctions ini_get contained nextgroup=phpIniParents syntax region phpIniParents contained matchgroup=Delimiter start=/(/ end=/)/ keepend \ contains=phpIniError " highlight a string inside ini_get() as an Error syntax match phpIniError contained /(\@<="\%(\\.\|[^"]\)*"\=/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax match phpIniError contained /(\@<='\%(\\.\|[^']\)*'\=/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] hi link phpIniError Error " highlight string quotes inside ini_get() as a normal color syntax cluster phpIniInside add=phpIniQuotes syntax match phpIniQuotes contained /['"]/ containedin=phpIniError hi link phpIniQuotes Define " highlight settings and partial settings inside the string: " - phpIniKey is a correct keyword " - phpIniKeyPartial matches part of a keyword syntax cluster phpIniInside add=phpIniKey,phpIniKeyPartial syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=S\%[MT]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=SMTP/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=a\%[llow_call_time_pass_referenc]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=allow_call_time_pass_reference/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=allow_u\%[rl_fope]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=allow_url_fopen/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=allow_url_i\%[nclud]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=allow_url_include/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=alw\%[ays_populate_raw_post_dat]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=always_populate_raw_post_data/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=ar\%[g_separator\.inpu]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=arg_separator\.input/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=arg_separator\.o\%[utpu]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=arg_separator\.output/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=as\%[p_tag]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=asp_tags/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=ass\%[ert\.activ]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=assert\.active/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=assert\.b\%[ai]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=assert\.bail/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=assert\.c\%[allbac]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=assert\.callback/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=assert\.q\%[uiet_eva]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=assert\.quiet_eval/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=assert\.w\%[arnin]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=assert\.warning/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=au\%[to_append_fil]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=auto_append_file/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=auto_d\%[etect_line_ending]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=auto_detect_line_endings/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=auto_g\%[lobals_ji]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=auto_globals_jit/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=auto_p\%[repend_fil]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=auto_prepend_file/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=b\%[rowsca]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=browscap/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=d\%[ate\.default_latitud]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=date\.default_latitude/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=date\.default_lo\%[ngitud]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=date\.default_longitude/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=date\.s\%[unrise_zenit]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=date\.sunrise_zenith/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=date\.suns\%[et_zenit]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=date\.sunset_zenith/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=date\.t\%[imezon]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=date\.timezone/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=de\%[fault_charse]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=default_charset/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=default_m\%[imetyp]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=default_mimetype/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=default_s\%[ocket_timeou]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=default_socket_timeout/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=defi\%[ne_syslog_variable]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=define_syslog_variables/ syntax match phpIniKeyPartial contained /['"]\@<=di\%[sable_classe]/ syntax match phpIniKey contained /['"]\@<=disable_classes/ [...] hi link phpIniKey Define hi link phpIniKeyPartial Todo This all works correctly, and the following examples all work correctlly (where d = Define, E = Error, t = Todo): ini_get('register_globalss');
