Hi there!
Just recently moved to PHPED trying to get away from zend studio.
Most of the scripts we are creating are for command line use. We usually do not end them with the .php or .php.sh , they simply do not have an extension and we start the script with the location of the interpreter for the shell to find it (i.e. : #! /usr/local/bin/php -q ).
How do I set up PHPed to recognize and highlight the code properly when I load these file up?

Thank you for your help.

As far as I know php bases it's highlight settings solely on the extension list defined in IDE> Assocoations.
There is no way to force it in a specific mode or have it recognize extension-less files.

Try in Settings->Associtaitons associate PHP Files with just asterisk, eg. *.php5;*.inc5;*.php;*.inc;*.phtml;* (note the last asterisk)

I think there might be a problem with highlighting for the other formats then.
Depending on the order in which the match is attempted, everything might be highlighted as being PHP.
If that isn't a issue then go for it

Yes, I know. But better than nothing

adding the * at the end of the associations for php5 did the trick.
Just for the story, I also contacted support who told me this was not possible and .. to bad for me.
Big thank you to sirjada.

I also agreed this will make by default everything php .. but that's what we use PHPed for .

Thank you !

Problem solved.
