Hi Roberto, I finally made it to work by using the content-type option in adition to your earlier tip. I did this Windows -> Preferences -> Content Types -> i clicked on text in the top box -> and selected -> PHP Source file , then added my custom extension below. The new custom extension now behaves exactly like a php file. Cheers..at least your tip lead me there.

Is there anyway I can make the new extension open up its contents with syntax and other php oriented functionalities ?

I believe what you want to do is setup a file association in your preferences. Give this a try: Open Window->Preferences. Under General->Editors->File Associations, add your new file extension. Highlight the new extension and use the Associated Editors box below to tie the extension to the PHP editor.
