OT console based editor that can do php syntax highlighting

2009-02-14 Thread Simon Griffiths
Hello Everyone,

I'm guessing this is off-topic so thank you in advance if you can offer any
help.

I currently SSH into a couple of freebsd machine I have dotted about which
run some console and web based php code.  This is all fine and dandy but
when it comes to remote support I struggle reading plain code when the file
gets over a certain size and find a little syntax highlighting helps a lot. 

So can anyone recommend an editor that can do this ?  I did try vim some
time ago but being a novice in these areas I couldn't get the syntax file to
load and help on the web confusing or indecipherable. 

TIA,

Si.

Nano supports syntax highlighting. it is off by default but can easily be 
turned on.  I think that you actually have to find the config file to make 
it handle PHP though but that can be found pretty easily on the web

Thanks for the tip Sean.  

It was mentioned that I could use joe and part of the /usr/ports/editors/joe
build there is jpico which emulates the shortcuts im so used to in pico and
nano.  I think joe works great for me.

Cheers,

Si.

Joe's own editor (joe) now supports syntax highlightin,
as well as VI improved (vim). The editor of the Midnight
Commander (mcedit) is my individual program of choice,
allthough I needed to modify the syntax files to fit
my imaginations, just as I created new ones. :-)
