The HTML that's being returned by this PHP function doesn't have any syntax highlighting.

If I delete the ' on line 13 the HTML highlighting works (but the PHP function breaks), with it the HTML highlighting does not work.

How do I get the HTML to have its proper syntax highlighting inside of this function?

html loses syntax highlighting inside php return function

Do I want to be doing something like this? I'm having a hard time figuring out what to make of that and how I would adapt it for my situation, let alone whether or not that's the right approach.

It would be great if Vim could automatically recognize HTML inside a PHP file without having to type any hard-to-remember commands.

From :help ft-php-syntax:

There are the following options for the php syntax highlighting.

[..]

Enable HTML syntax highlighting inside strings:

  let php_htmlInStrings = 1

You can add that your vimrc.

  • Thank you so much!!! I didn't even know there was an option of "ft-php-" for the syntax help. Adding that let php_... to .vimrc did the trick!
