Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

Try writing the following (perfectly valid) example php code in gedit with "highlight mode" set to "php".

Expected: highlight should be correct, as the code is ok. Code between <?php and ?> should be highlighted as php, and inside it, code between quotes should be shown as a string. Code outside php tags should be highlighted as html.

Observed: the opening quotes of the string are wrongly interpreted as closing quotes of the html attribute (ignoring the fact that they are inside the <?php ... ?> block), and starting from there code is highlighted as HTML.

Here's the example code:

<html>
<body>

<a href="<?php echo "this is a string"; ?>">link</a>

</body>
</html>

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
