Bug: PHP syntax highlighting failure

[GreyWyvern]

PHP syntax highlighting fails on this valid construction:

Code: Select all

<?php
$str = array("Foo", "Bar");
echo "Name: {$str[($str[1]) ? 1 : 0]}"; // Should echo "Name: Bar"
?>

The text "($str[1" appears highlighted as a syntax error (?) and the square brackets on either side are (using colour scheme "Blackboard") highlighted in yellow text. The matchBrackets algorithm successfully finds the correct brackets though.

Here is another valid syntax on which Sublime's PHP highlighting is failing:

Code: Select all

$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `catalogue` SET
  `model`='{$_POST["page_row{$count}_model"]}',
  `type`='{$_POST["page_row{$count}_type"]}',
  `updated`=UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
;");

Two of the odd lines need to be included. The first trips up the second and from then on everything further in the document is treated as a string and coloured accordingly. I'm assuming the nested double-quotes and curly braces are the culprit here.

As far as I'm aware, these aren't Sublime Text specific issues, but are a general issue with the PHP grammar. Hopefully it'll get fixed upstream in the TextMate repo at some point.

How would I report this to TextMate? Do you import the files directly from them, or do you modify them for use by Sublime Text? I don't have a Mac that I can test TextMate on directly

Would they know what I was talking about if I just reported it on their "textmate users" mailing list, the same way I've done here?

I think they would know what you were talking about, yes. I don't know where the best place for reporting errors is, but the mailing list seems a decent place to start.

For what it's worth, I just tried your snippet in TextMate and, like jps posits, it is the same as in Sublime.

Thanks for the confirmation! I made a post on their mailing list.
