is there a way to fool dreamweaver into using the php coloring scheme when editing html documents? I’m adding some php code to pages that have html extensions, and I just want to use the coloring scheme - helps me check my code.  
Thanks  
Raf

Click Edit on the top menu, select Preferences. In the resulting window Select code coloring, scroll down the list that appears to PHP, then click on Edit Coloring Scheme.
