Take a look at the code below:

		<meta name="generator" content="PHP">
		<meta name="description" content="Test text">
		<?php // echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="'. mt_rand(15, 90)
.'">'; ?>
		<meta name="revisit" content="1 day">
		<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">		

It appears that the syntax highlighting function in phpEclipse sees the ?>
as being commented out by the // instead of giving the closing tag a higher
priority and as such the all HTML lines are not hilighted correctly until
another php closing tag is found later on in the file.

If the above lines are written as shown below then the problem doesn't
occur (although you do end up with ugly code).

		<meta name="generator" content="PHP">
		<meta name="description" content="Test text">
		<?php // echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="'. mt_rand(15, 90)
.'">';
?>
		<meta name="revisit" content="1 day">
		<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

Should work now (PHPEclipse1.1.0-2004-09-25).
Please reopen if necessary (with detailed example).

I've noticed that whenever I use an apostrophe (') within
multiple comment (/* */) the syntax highlight of next
multiple comment is stuffed + often all syntax highlighting
is somehow "switched off". Once I stopped using apostrophes
within multiple comment, it seems to work OK.

The highlighting breaks for multiline phpdoc style comments
as well. The following will kill highlighting for everything
following the comment.

/**
* my function 
*/

I have to close the editor and reopen in order to restore
the highlighting.
