title: How can I enable PHP Syntax highlighting in Visual Studio Code?
body: <p>I use MAMP (on windows) as a local web server and I just started to use Visual Studio Code. I set the php.exe path in the settings.json file trough &quot;php.validate.executablePath&quot;. It seems work, or maybe it gives me no error, so I think it's working, but the PHP syntax highlighting doesn't work. All my variables are white colored and so the functions.</p>
  <p>What could be the problem?</p>
  <p>Thank you all.</p>
  <p>EDIT:
  Ok, this was a theme problem and the highlighting started to work properly, but my &quot;<code>&lt;?php ?&gt;</code>&quot; tags inside the html code look the same color as other tags. Is there a way to fix it?</p>
