Product: VS 2010 Ultimate (if you need more then look at full dump at the bottom)
Important Add-In: VS.PHP from JCX software https://www.jcxsoftware.com/
Oh then, this must be a JCX software bug: Nice try, but I highly doubt it.
Description of Problem:
The JCX software supports PHP projects and provides Intellisense for PHP documents. I have also associated a number of other extensions to be considered PHP so that these three should be associated with the PHP editor: .php, .module, .install
A typical PHP file could look like an XML file to the VS editor:
<?phpphpinfo();
?>
Normally, editing any of these files works fine and I get the PHP intellisense behavior. However, sometimes (probably when I save) VS starts thinking that this file is an XML file. Then, Intellisense gets totally messed up.
If you edit the file (give it focus) and also have the Properties window open, you will see that VS thinks this file is an "XML Document". Other PHP documents with the same extension have nothing in this Properties.
Solution?
Why does VS think this is an "XML Document" and how do I tell it that it is wrong so that I can get the PHP Intellisense? I cannot select different data in the Properties window and cannot delete "XML Document."
Workaround:
* Create a new file foo.install
* Copy all text from bar.install to foo.install
* Remove bar.install from project and delete it
* Rename foo.install to bar.install
Now VS thinks bar.install is a PHP file again!
