Changing the coloring in VS2008

Posted November 18th, 2008 by twister

Hi,

I hope someone can help. Have just downloaded the trial version and so far it looks great.
However i need to change the color settings for the PHP code.

At present this entire line is blue (apart from the purple &&):
if (isset($pos) && isset($setmove)) {

Which isn't very helpful i want to be able to see a difference between variables, functions names and if's.

I have checked the forums and they all say goto tools->options->Environment->Fonts and Colors
But i have looked there and isn't a single PHP related entry?

The forums also seem to suggest that on VS2005 you need to use the administrator account to access there settings. Don't tell that is the same for 2008?

Can anyone help?

Twister.

P.s. the gold for strings is yuk as well.

    The way you fix this is by running the following from the command line:

    devenv /setup

    Run it as the user you will run VS.Php later. That will register those entries for the user.

    Thanks

    Thanks for that, all working fine now.

    Just for anyone else that uses this information you need to run the command from the VS2008 command prompt which is under Visual Studio Tools. (Or navigate to "C:\Program Files \Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>" and then run it.)
