Vim - Activiting HTML snippets on PHP files

Question

I am using vim and snipMate, many times I need to name the HTML files to PHP, just because of 1 or 2 lines of code.

I every time I create a PHP file vim takes it as PHP file and so the HTML snippets are not available, thus have to activate the HTML snippets manually with the command.

set ft=php.html

I intend to activate it automatically in this this line on my vimrc

autocmd BufREad, BufNewFile *.php set ft=php.html

Is this correct? I am missing anything or is something wrong?

You will need to make it two separate directives.

au BufRead *.php set ft=php.html
au BufNewFile *.php set ft=php.html

I think you can do that in single line, just remove the space between `BufRead` and `BufNewFile`. – Santosh Kumar Sep 17 '12 at 02:47

You have an uppercase E in your example. The following should work on one line:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.php set ft=php.html

I think the space after the comma might have been the real problem. – Mu Mind Jul 28 '12 at 06:00
