Question

I use PHPStorm

I need to know how could I treat .tpl files syntax highlighting like that of .php syntax highlighting?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you want to treat .tpl files in the same way as .php then you will have to re-assign *.tpl pattern to PHP type in Settings/Preferences | Editor | File Types

(screenshot is from current 2021.2 version)

The IDE will ask to confirm the removal of that pattern from the standard Smarty file type:

P.S. This is an IDE-wide setting and will affect all projects.

Sadly you cannot have the same pattern to be assigned to a different file type in different projects. Consider using double extension if it's possible: e.g. *.html.tpl -- this way you can use such additional pattern assigned to another file type.

OTHER TIPS

In PhpStorm configuration settings:

 File->Settings->Editor->File Types->php-> + -> add *.tpl
