 * There is no use of syntax highlight in PHP Code since we cant include `<?php`
   at the begining. And somehow i like it to chanhe on the fly and not haveing to
   copy/paste from editor. Can you make this work?

 * yea its a known bug which the only way around it (for now) is to add the `<?php`
   tag when you edit and remove it when you are done, just before you save.
