Netbeans code allocation for PHP built-in functions

Question

I cannot change the code highlighting for built-in php functions like strlen () or preg_match. Is this possible in netbeans? Because no matter what I try, it appears in the same color as regular text in the editor.

Answer 1

It works for me when I create (or open) a PHP project. When you create a PHP project, irlt asks the PHP version to highlight, show documentation, etc. Have you already created or opened a project and is it the file that you are trying to edit part of the project? This seems to cause poor backlighting.
