Since version 6 BBEdit has been able to colorize PHP keywords. While BBEdit's list of keywords was very limited in the beginning, a lot of entries have been added with each new BBEdit version, but up to this very day, the list remains incomplete. (Which is not surprising if you consider the tremendous speed of PHP's development.)
BBEdit-PHP-Enhancer addresses this limitation: It is a patch that removes BBEdit's built-in keyword list and replaces it with another one. Compared to BBEdit version 6.0.x / 6.1.x you will get more than 2,000 (!) additional keywords and even the last version before BBEdit 7 (BBEdit 6.5.3) lacks more than 200 keywords found in BBEdit-PHP-Enhancer's list.

System requirements
BBEdit-PHP-Enhancer was is Mac OS X native and won't run under OS 8.x or 9.x. This limitation does not apply to a patched BBEdit file, i.e.: you can use a patched BBEdit under X as well as under OS 8/9.
The patch can only be applied to BBEdit version 6.x, this means: no BBEdit Lite, no BBEdit 5 or earlier, no BBEdit 7 or later. Starting with version 7, BBEdit's own keyword list is basically the same as the one that ships with BBEdit-PHP-Enhancer, so there is no need for the patch any longer, anyway.
