Browser preview doesn't work with *.php files

[Szigeti Ádám]

As the summary says: The browser preview extension can't show me the output of my PHP files - even if the file doesn't contains PHP scripts, just pure HTML and/or JavaScript, and/or CSS. But it works when I rename the file extension to *.html - but in this case, I lose the ability to use PHP scripts in my files (which is pretty important for me).
You should make a localhost support for this extension, it could be awesome - because in this stage, it's pretty and it's good to have, but useless for me.

I agree i miss this feature from PSPad.

I have a solution, but it needs the php interpreter installed on localhost. It uses the built-it php development server to run php scripts. Don't know, if it's an acceptable solution, but you could try it out and see how it's working. As I said, it needs the php5-cli package.

The sources are in the branch related to this bug.

I was trying to add some php interpreter support, but the solution required launching a development server, which is a bigger thing. We can add that *.php files could also be previewed, but making them be interpreted will be hard.
