#1 PHP in JavaScript Multihighlighter

Hi guys,
PHP is not highlighted properly when used between <script> tags. It seems PSPad doesn't detect it is PHP.
Is that a bug, and if it is, is there a fix?
Best Regards,
Slavi

Because PHP needs to be between <?php and ?> and is not a script a browser would recognise. The script tags are just used to tell the browser that the code there is something it can pas to it's scripting engine, usually JavaScript or VBScript.

Maybe an example will clarify things a bit.
<html>
...
<script>
var a = <?php echo $avalue; ?>;
</script>
...
</html>
It is not a big issue here, because it's only "echo $avalue", but larger portions of php code are not properly highlighted either.

The same problem appears when trying to put <?php ?> between <style></style> tags -- no php syntax highlighting.
Best regards,
me

There isn't and won't be multilevel highlighting
