Greg Beaver has a tip for all of the Zend Development Envoronment users out there in this new post on his blog today. He shows you how to add a filetype to "Web Documents" options.
Instead, I took a look at how ZDE stores its configuration, and I must say, it is a dream come true: simple, easy -to-read XML files stored either in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\ZDE\config_X.Y or /home/username/.ZDEConfig/config_X.Y
As I work with PEAR and other projects that often mix XML and PHP, I have wanted to add XML files to the default "Web Documents" file type that is available with ZDE. Sure, I could create my own file type, but where is the fun in that?
After finding these files it was just a simple matter of adding another line to the file (in the specificed XML format, of course), and saving it back. The next time you go to open a file, you'll have the new happy option to open up all sorts of XML files.
