PHP Files Association

[Swift-R]

Is it possible to associate .php files with Visual Studio 2012? When I am selecting a program in "Opens in:", there is a "Visual Studio Version Selector" but each time I open a .php file it opens in a new Visual Studio window not on a new tab.

PHP Tools should already associate .php and .phpproj files with Visual Studio unless user changes it in Windows Explorer.

Anyway to be sure, you can set association with following (so .php file will be opened in an existing VS in new tab)

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /Edit "%1"

It didn't, maybe because I had .php files associated with another program. How can I associate .php files with Visual Studio 2012 and those params?

[Jakub Misek]

There isn't any command for that in VS. You can delete following key in your registry

Code: Select all

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Packages\{9DD0D70B-6760-4C96-B1DC-03AAF937D95A}\

ShellAssocSet

and restart VS. This updates .php file association.

If it won't work for you, we can add an additional settings in future version.

Didn't work.

Thanks. We'll add some additional options into VS.

May I ask what is your Windows version?

[Swift-R]

Win8

Thanks, we'll improve this in the future update.

Great! If you need some testing of any sort I'll be more than happy to help.

Thank you very much. I may send you an update privately as we'll get this working.

Thanks!
