PHP String Syntax
PHP String Syntax is a Visual Studio Code extension that highlights SQL, HTML, and JavaScript embedded in PHP strings. The extension automatically infers HTML and SQL content by default, while also supporting explicit language markers (/*sql*/, /*html*/, and /*js*/) to identify and apply syntax highlighting to SQL queries, HTML content, and JavaScript code.
Features
- Automatic Language Detection: Infers and highlights HTML and SQL content in PHP strings without requiring explicit markers.
- Explicit Language Markers: Supports
/*sql*/, /*html*/, and /*js*/ comments for explicit language specification when needed.
- Compatibility with Other Editors: The use of language markers does not interfere with syntax in other editors or IDEs.
- Multiline String Support: Works seamlessly with queries, HTML content, and JavaScript code spread across multiple lines.
Current Support
- HTML (auto-detected and with explicit marker)
- SQL (auto-detected and with explicit marker)
- JavaScript (with explicit marker)
Example
HTML Example (Explicit)
SQL Example (Explicit)
JavaScript Example (Explicit)

Visual Studio Code will apply SQL, HTML, and JavaScript syntax highlighting to the content of the strings, improving readability and streamlining development.
