PHP syntax support within HTML syntax

[michaelGregoire]

Most editors have PHP syntax/language support within HTML files, due to the commonality of having PHP within HTML templates. Currently, Atom does not. I hope that this can be rectified. Not having it is a deal breaker for me.

Atom HTML syntax highlighting:

Sublime Text HTML syntax highlighting:

The langauge-php has support for this, but your files must have one of the php extensions listed.

We don't have plans to add php grammar support to the language-html package because the language-php package already handles html and php parsing. But we have an issue open that would allow you to map .html files to the langauge-php package.

This is not 100% correct.
I am a totally new Atom user and this is whats happening for me (index.php).

Any idea how to fix that? Its really annoying.

How do you fix this?

Ctrl+Shift+L (or Cmd+Shift+L) and switch the language to PHP.

Ctrl+Shift+L will not save, and you don't want press it on each of 2345 files in your project.
my solution:

1. download file-types

2. go to Edit -> Config file

3. write
   

4. press Ctrl+S and restart Atom.
