Add a file extension to gedit in Ubuntu

I needed .ctp files to open with PHP syntax highlighting in gedit. After searching around online for a while I found the answer on the ubuntu forums.

Add

<glob pattern="*.ctp"/>

to the

<mime -type type="application/x-php"></mime>

declaration in the /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml file and then run:

update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

in the console. Restart gedit and now everything works great!
