Description

When I open a file not having the extension ".php" it is not automatically recognized as php althoug it starts with "<?php"

<?php
$t = array(
    'potcheck_name' => 'Port Check',
    'your_ip_address' => 'Deine IP Adresse',
    'common_ports' => 'Die häufigsten Ports',
    'port_is_open' => 'Port <strong>%d</strong> ist offen',
    'port_is_closed' => 'Port <strong>%d</strong> ist geschlossen',
);

2. Save it as "something.lang"

I'm still not able to reproduce this, possibly because this was fixed by #217 (which is only included in Atom 1.24.0-beta0 and up). @Skeeve would you mind temporarily installing atom-mac.zip from the beta release and seeing if that helps?

Okay. Tested. It's fixed in 1.24.0-beta3
