PHP Syntax Error Reporting For Non PHP Files?

As far as I can see PHP syntax error reporting only works on PHP files? How do we enable for other file types?

Actually, after rethinking my workflow, if I were to add PHP to an HTML document, I would probably go to MMDocumentTypes.xml and add  the highlighted lines.

<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML" winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml" macfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,tpl,lasso,xhtml,ssi" file="Default.html" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">

    <TITLE>

        <MMString:loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_0" />

       <MMString:loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_14" />

    </TITLE>

    <description>

        <MMString:loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_1" />

        <MMString:loadString id="mmdocumenttypes_15" />

    </description>

    <dtdcontext>html</dtdcontext>

</documenttype>

My apologies, just tested the above and it does not work.

For .inc files you could probably just add INC to the list for PHP Files in the Extensions.txt file in the Dreamweaver config folder, I don't think it's as straight forward with a HTML file for example and I don't want to be renaming files or using any other lame workaround.

Maybe by renaming the files with a .php extension?

Which file types are you working with that need PHP error reporting?

I used to use the .inc extension for included files and lost my syntax highlighting and error reporting. Since coming to my senses, I use the .php extension for all of my php files.

My reason for using .inc files was to show exactly that, it is an included file and not a full document. Now I place an underlying dash to show that it is a partial file as in _myHeader.php and place the file in a folder called included..

Sanity has been restored.
