Several questions Follow
Hello people, I've only started using phpstorm for a while now, i love it but some things are really annoying me, I'm sure there are answers so here goes:
- Syntax highlighting is not working for PHP files and I cant figure out how to make it work.
- I use ctrl+shift+r "open resouce" in eclipse all the time, is there something similar in phpstorm?
- There is no "save as"? What is the alternative?
- The menu to open file with browser keeps disappearing
- How do you upgrade? do you have to uninstall and then reinstall?
Thanks for any help with these

Hi badger,
1) Well ... never had such problem with any php file. Can you please provide a full example of such file (not just part of the file, but the whole file) ?
2) Never used it -- cannot advice here
3) In editor: simply press F5 (or Menu -> Refactor -> Copy). In Project view -- the same (right click on desired file -> Refactor -> Copy)
4) "Alt+F2" or Menu -> View -> Web Preview (but I never used this feature myself, so cannot guarantee 100% correctness)
5) Unfortunately Yes. See this ticked: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/WI-2937?projectKey=WI

Andriy
Thanks Andriy,
Regarding the syntax highlighting not working, I've tried lots of files, even a simple hello world doesn't work.
Here is a basic file example:
<?php
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password")
or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
print ("Connected successfully");
mysql_close($link);
?>
I just get it all in dark blue
Hi, thanks for your reply,
1. yes i am sure, phpstorm 1.0.1
2. Thanks goto file seems to be similar :)
3. thanks
4. it looks like alt+f2 does it
5. thanks
Well, than check that PHP plugin enabled in Settings|Plugins and that your file extension is mapped correctly at Settings|File types.
BTW, please upgrade to 1.0.2 until requesting any further help.
ahhh thats much better, it was assigned incorrectly for some reason, possibly because I was using webstorm before I decided to go for phpstorm.
Thanks for your help
