If you are writing code in Notepad++ and using Cakephp youll notice it doesnt highlight .ctp files (CakePhp View Files).

You can fix this quite easily by;

Opening;

C:\Users\[YOURNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\

Open teh file called; langs.xml

Scroll down till you see;

  <Language name=”html” ext=”html htm shtml shtm xhtml hta”

Add ctp to the end of it;

<Language name=”html” ext=”html htm shtml shtm xhtml hta ctp”

Save it and reopn Notepad++ your .ctp files should now render correctly.
