Hi everyone,
I'm new a the list, so just a few word to introduce myself : I am mostly a PHP developer and I often write for the french magazine "GNU/Linux Magazine France". I'm using Geany on a daily basis for a long time, and enjoy it more than any other IDE.
As a PHP developper, I recently discover a new programming language, dedicated to native PHP extensions. Its name is Zephir, you could learn more here : http://zephir-lang.com. Its philosophy is to associate the PHP syntax style with the efficiency of C to enable long-time PHP developer to run easily their own extensions as fast as C ones and to code them as quickly as PHP scripts.
So I adopted Zephir, and will certainly use it on a daily basis, as Geany. So I naturally tried to code Zephir sources with Geany and to make my own /filestype.Zephir.conf/. You can see the current state of this work here : https://github.com/taophp/zephir-geany-fileconf
The fact is that if I set the Zephir file as a PHP file using the menu /Document->Set filetype/ (I suppose, my geany front end is in French), the symbols tabs detects all my classes, functions, properties, and all perfectly, but in the editing area, there is no syntax highlighting until I add the opening PHP tag "<?php" - but the Zephir compiler will not accept it. My first attempt to solve this issue was to copy the filetypes.php in a filetypes.Zephir.conf, and then tried to modify it to avoid the need of the opening PHP tag. My second attempt was to find another filetypes.* that fit more my needs. My choice was filetypes.cs, and this was the base of my project on Gitbub. Now syntax highlighting is correct, but the symbols tab does not work...
Could anyone could tell me how to deal with this issue ?
Regards,
Stéphane Mourey
