Hi Roberto, i tried out your tip, it does work but it looses the syntax highlighting functionality. Is there anyway I can make the new extension open up its contents with syntax and other php oriented functionalities ? Cheers

I have no knowledge of Eclipse, but it seems a stupid program, it should color highlight based on the typed code, so if there is <?php ..... ?> in a page, that it performs PHP highlighting on it. Did you see if there's a way to manually select which color highlighting to use? It's possible in programs like KDevelop. Tijnema

And all my development filenames now come with this new extension. However my IDE (Php Eclipse) will not recognise this new extension as a php file, even though it opens it up but it looses all the php features (e.g. syntax highlighting, flags, errors, warnning, intellisence etc) How can i make php-eclipse recognise my new custom extension as a php file ? I believe what you want to do is setup a file association in your preferences. Give this a try: Open Window->Preferences. Under General->Editors->File Associations, add your new file extension. Highlight the new extension and use the Associated Editors box below to tie the extension to the PHP editor.
