Description Marcio Rocha Pereira 2006-12-18 10:00:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If a PHP file has a string which contais an backlash-escaped quote (as "my\"String\"isnice" ) it will see the string only till the quoted quote

Steps to reproduce:
1. open a php file with a single- ou double-quoted string which contains an escaped single or double quote, accordingly
2. 
3. 


Actual results:
the document after the badly escaped string will be awkwardly highlighted

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yep

Other information:
I solved it changing the string pattern from ".*?" to "(\\"|.)*?" and accordingly to single quotes... it does seem to have a little impacte on performance, but maybe not really...

As far as I can see, we already fixed this issue. Go to

Edit > Preferences > tab: Syntax highlighting

then choose the "php" filetype and press the <Reset> button. If you made custom changes to the php highlighting pattern, be sure to backup your ${HOME}/.bluefish/highlighting first, so you can play pack your changes.

I'm going to close this report now.
