Very minor bug -- highlighting variables inside of strings

Post by HyrumR »

I've been trying out rapid PHP for a little while, and most everything about it is perfect. I just have one *very* small gripe. It would be nice if it would highlight variables properly when you use them in strings. Example:

$sql = "select email_address from users where user_id=$userid";

I like to have strings purple and variables black, but $userid shows up as purple inside that string. Using variables like this is one of my favorite features of PHP that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I'd feel even more fuzzy if the editor would properly highlight strings like this. :)

Great job on Rapid PHP. I plan on buying soon.

This is not a bug, you may call it a missing feature. We will consider possible improvement in the future versions/updates.

Yeah, "missing feature" does describe it a little better. :)

I must say I'm very impressed that you, the creator of such an awesome editor, will go through and reply to all the feature request / bug reports, etc. It shows you really care about your users. :D

Thanks for your comment.

I have some additional helpful hands and we are trying to do our best, although it is not possible to reply to every post and to include every feature requested, we certainly read all suggestions and eventually all of the most important, requested and reasonable features make their way through. :wink:

See also the end of this post for example of more complex highlighting in string.
