imagecreatefrombmp not recognised

Dion Fitzgerald

I am working on a PHP script for images, it seems imagecreatefrombmp is not highlighted in blue as a function.
imagecreatefromjpeg, imagecreatefromgif, imagecreatefrompng are highlighted in blue and work fine. Although imagecreatefrombmp is not highlighted in blue, it still works in my PHP script perfectly, just notepad++ doesn’t seem to recognise it as a function so it doesn’t turn it blue. Please, can this be fixed in future releases. Thanks

Please, can this be fixed in future releases.

This Forum is not the feature request location, as explained in our FAQ. Even if you went to github and made a feature request, I am doubtful that anyone would bother to do a PR for a single keyword – but if you found a list of keywords that were missing, someone might be more likely to bother.

However, if it’s important to you to get it highlighted right away, go to Settings > Style Configurator > Language: php > Style: WORD and add imagecreatefrombmp to the User-defined keywords box, then Save & Close, and it will be highlighted for you on that computer, from then on. (The reason Notepad++ has the user-defined keywords option for most languages is that it is impossible for one volunteer developer to know all 80+ languages well enough to know if there’s a few missing keywords or not, and on any language, there maybe any number of lesser-used keywords that would only be important to a subset of users – so the user-defined keyword box is there for the users who care about those holes or want those extra keywords to add them themselves. PHP already has >9000 keywords in Notepad++, so it’s not surprising there is at least one, and likely more, missing – even if there were 100 missing that would only be 1% of the total, which isn’t hugely significant.)
