I changed the font and colours (for PHP files anyway), removed the other languages, enabled the auto-complete dropdown, changed the menus, included the PHP binary to check files for syntax errors, and included phpStylist to beautify source code. I also made a new icon, and added the latest “php.api”, and made F1 (help) open the PHP manual (included).

I made this package for my own personal use, and possibly that of friends, and I offer NO (as in ZERO) support for it. I will also not be held responsible for any damages caused – you use this at your own risk. Please do not contact the authors of SciTE regarding bugs or problems as I have made several modifications to the compiled executable that may result in all sorts of bugs – which they aren’t responsible for.

That said, I hope you will find this packge useful. Once you’ve opened a PHP file (with “PHP-SciTE.exe”) press F5 to check for syntax errors, F7 to run the PHP script currently open, and CTRL+F7 to tidy your source code.

Please realize that your code will be changed to how I like my code formatted which might frustrate you… the settings passed to phpStylist are in “php_tidy.bat” if you want to change them.

I really don’t know SciTE that well, and most of what I’ve done has just been lucky guessing, so I probably wont be able to help you with questions but if you want to get hold of me you can e-mail me at: php-scite[at]hypn.za.net

UPDATE: first bug :( the “Check Syntax” menu item (under “Tools”) says the hotkey is CTRL+F5, but it’s actually just F5.
