I'm not sure how well this is going to work out as an extension,
but I do know that my advanced editor (vim) can highlight PHP and
SQL at the same time using heredocs:
$sql = <<<SQL
SELECT * from foo where bar=$bar
SQL;
I don't want people to start voting on extensions based on their
perceived usefulness (since that just wastes time); I'd rather the
author sat down and thought about it a bit to decide if it really will
be useful to others before taking it further.
The other point that needs mentioning is licensing: we can't have
PHP extensions licensed under the GPL (consult the archives for
more detail on this issue).
Sorry if this sounds negative,
