Today I'm looking into compiling PHP files directly from PSPad, because it
should be faster than switching to the web browser every time.

A) The "Compiler Example" for PHP in your Help file isn't up-to-date. This is
working for me:

Compiler: drive:\path\php.exe
Parameters: "%File%"
[X] Capture Program Output Window
[X] Compile on background
LOG parser: *on line %L

So, quotation marks added and the "b" removed.
Here a Screenshot (viz https://snipboard.io/3r4QsG.jpg )

B) In your "Highlighter Settings" under "Compiler" I don't understand the
difference between "Capture Program Output Window" and "Compile on background",
where the second one isn't explained in the Help file - maybe you can add it.

But I found, that with "Compile on background" enabled PSPad shows a little
feedback in the console: "Process completed, Exit Code 0. Execution time:
00:00.072". This is great, because with "Compile on background" disabled the
console remains totally blank. So I added it also to my compiler example above.

C) In your "Highlighter Settings" under "Log Parser" one can see six variables
listed. In your Help file under "Compiler Settings" %S and %E aren't explained.
Maybe you can add those, and explain what "%E/end parsing" is good for - maybe
with an example.

More to come.
Friendly greetings
Ravelli
