Thanks for the tip. I’m trying to use gedit as my IDE to replace Eclipse, and I needed the File Browser pane to recognize .phtml files. This tip did the trick.

@Joseph
Okay I think I got it now. After doing all of the above I deleted:

sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/mime

And then rebooted. Not sure if I even needed to do a full reboot or not but hey it’s working now so I’m not going to question it

Just tried to edit /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/php.lang. It looks like around Line #30 there is this…

*.php;*.php3;*.php4;*.phtml

I modified it to look like this…

*.php;*.php3;*.php4;*.phtml;*.ctp

but I am still having the problem.
gnomevfs-info shows that my .ctp file has the application/x-php mime type so I’m not sure what to do here. Maybe a restart will help

This doesn’t seem to be working 100% in Intrepid (8.10 amd64)
