Surely not the best but I don't want to use another IDE just because I
want to edit some php files and jQuery code. I already started to create
some file wizards for Web projects, PHP and HTML files.

I found this http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.qt.general/42686

embedded highlighting.

But for now I would be happy to know why PHP highlighting isn't working.
Embedded HTML is the next step.
