Hello,

    I am using MarkNextWord to try and highlight the vars in PHP ($var) only problem is that it will not highlight like this

$testVar

It will just stay as black text but like this it works

$ testVar

Does anyone know how to correct this or a better way of highlighting php vars?

Thanks, Cory. 

Hi

I could resolve this with adding

             <MarkFollowing bold="false" italic="false" color="DarkRed">$</MarkFollowing>           
           
            <KeyWords name="var" bold="false" italic="false" color="DarkRed">
                <Key word="$" />
            </KeyWords>

to the syntaxhighlighting definition and adding the "$" char to the Delimiters-Section

 I'm not sure if the <KeyWords>-Part is necessary ...

Sorry for the long delay in posting I forgot about the thread, but I just tried out your method and it worked great.

Thanks for that.
