This page on the Haml website has a list of supported editors. I guess PHP support is limited as Haml and Sass are - currently at least - used mainly with Ruby.
Thanks for this. Will make an update.

Release R0017 is now available. This fixes issues 3 - 7, which includes the one mentioned above.
Nope. You missed this one. Still getting the error with the updated code.
Brain must have been some where else when I did the upload 
OK - R0018 does fix the issue above, plus the others.
Thanks!
Couple extension requests.
a. Have // be equivalent to -#. It’s much easier to type.
b. Allow single line filters. That is, pass on the remainder of the :filtername line to the filter.
If you decide against these, I’d appreciate it if you could point me to the right place so I can make the changes locally.
Also, I got the syntax highlighting to work in emacs (on windows). The difference from the original is that my hack handles php code and allows indendation by tabs. If you are interested, let me know.
Added both the above requests.
Plus the output view file now defaults to a .php file (which of course it is 
)
The extension of the output view file is set from an additional property -
$viewFileExtension - that can be set in the configuration; the default is .php
To control were the output view file is written use the $useRuntimePath path property
defined in CViewRenderer - set it in the configuration along with other renderer
properties.
The default is true; output files are written to protected.runtime.views.nnnnnnn
If set to false output files are written to the source file directory.
R0019 is available for download.
And yes, very interested in the syntax highlighting.
Attached the files needed for syntax highlighting in Emacs. The zip file contains php-mode.el and haml-mode.el. Copy these to your emacs/lisp/progmodes directory.
Add the line
(require 'haml-mode)
to your .emacs file (This file may need to be created).
R0020 is available. This fixes a Sass issue (Issue 13)
Thanks
Thanks for this extensions, it works great so far.
I encountered a small situation i cannot solve. Is it possible to change the haml behavior depending an a variable? Example:
i want to convert this php view code to haml:
<div class="waypointarea">
<span class="waypoint
<?php echo ($point == 1) ? 'active' : ''; ?>"> One </span>
<span class="waypoint
<?php echo ($point == 2) ? 'active' : ''; ?>"> Two </span>
</div> <!-- waypointarea>
Now, this goes like this:
.waypointarea
%span.waypoint
One
%span.waypoint
Two
but HOW is it possible to give the span.waypoint the class active only where $point is set… i know there is a way, but how to do this with haml?
thanks
Hi thyseus,
Glad you like the extension.
The way to do what you want is with code interpolation - the #{<PHP code>} construct. Code interpolation isn’t supported (yet) in the class and id shortcuts, so you need to declare the class as an attribute. I will investigate to see if I can get interpolation working in the shortcuts. If I can I’ll put in the next release.
To take your example verbatim, here is the Haml code (I’ve put the text on the same line as it’s short, but can be on the next line and indented)
-# setup
- $point = 2
.waypointarea
%span(class="waypoint #{($point == 1 ? 'active' : '')}") One
%span(class="waypoint #{($point == 2 ? 'active' : '')}") Two
This parses to:
<?php $point = 2; ?>
<div class="waypointarea">
<span class="waypoint <?php echo ($point == 1 ? 'active' : ''); ?>">
One
</span>
<span class="waypoint <?php echo ($point == 2 ? 'active' : ''); ?>">
Two
</span>
</div>
and the HTML is:
<div class="waypointarea">
<span class="waypoint ">
One
</span>
<span class="waypoint active">
Two
</span>
</div>
Another method (depending on what you are passing to your view) is to use a loop; for example:
Haml
-# setup
- $points = array('One', 'Two', 'Three')
- $point = 2
.waypointarea
- foreach ($points as $p => $pointText)
%span(class="waypoint #{($point == ++$p ? 'active' : '')}")= $pointText
parsed
<?php $points = array('One', 'Two', 'Three'); ?>
<?php $point = 2; ?>
<div class="waypointarea">
<?php foreach ($points as $p => $pointText) { ?>
<span class="waypoint <?php echo ($point == ++$p ? 'active' : ''); ?>">
<?php echo $pointText; ?>
</span>
<?php } ?>
</div>
HTML
<div class="waypointarea">
<span class="waypoint ">
One
</span>
<span class="waypoint active">
Two
</span>
<span class="waypoint ">
Three
</span>
</div>
And it works !! 
Haml
-# setup
- $point = 2
- $points = array('One', 'Two', 'Three')
.waypointarea
- foreach ($points as $p => $pointText)
%span.waypoint.#{($point == ++$p ? 'active' : '')}##{"point$p"}= $pointText
parses to
<?php $point = 2; ?>
<?php $points = array('One', 'Two', 'Three'); ?>
<div class="waypointarea">
<?php foreach ($points as $p => $pointText) { ?>
<span class="waypoint <?php echo ($point == ++$p ? 'active' : ''); ?>" id="<?php echo "point$p"; ?>">
<?php echo $pointText; ?>
</span>
<?php } ?>
</div>
and renders the HTML as
<div class="waypointarea">
<span class="waypoint " id="point1">
One
</span>
<span class="waypoint active" id="point2">
Two
</span>
<span class="waypoint " id="point3">
Three
</span>
</div>
And of course
-# setup
- $point = 2
- $points = array('One', 'Two', 'Three')
.waypointarea
- foreach ($points as $p => $pointText)
.waypoint.#{($point == ++$p ? 'active' : '')}##{"point$p"} = $pointText
will become:
<div class="waypointarea">
<div class="waypoint " id="point1">
One
</div>
<div class="waypoint active" id="point2">
Two
</div>
<div class="waypoint " id="point3">
Three
</div>
</div>
The update is in SVN and I’ll make another release of the extension by the end of this week.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Chris. I know I’ll need this too.
Chris, you might also want to include all this in the documentation. I would also suggest going through the Haml doc and at least rewriting the ones that mention Ruby. For example, how would {} attributes work, or attribute methods, Object Reference: []
Question: How do I create an empty textarea. I had to resort to plain HTML.
//%textarea(rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body")
<textarea class="resizable" rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body"></textarea>
I’d kind of hoped I could get away with the Haml and Sass documentation 
, but you’re probably right.
Ruby style attributes work:
%a{:href => 'http://example.com', :title => 'An example'} text
is the equivalent of
%a(href="http://example.com" title="Another example") text
both becoming (actual rendering dependant on the renderer being used)
<a href="http://example.com" title="Another example">text</a>
and so do Object references - though use the latest SVN version of HamlParser (there was an issue with class and id having a leading space in earlier versions)
%p[$object, prefix] Text
will become ($object instanceof MyObject, $object->id == 23)
<p class="prefix_my_object" id="prefix_my_object_23">Text</p>
For me the following works
%form
%textarea(rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body")
-# Doesn't have to be in a form to work
%textarea(rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body1")
-# Using .class#id and attributes works fine
%textarea.class#body2(rows="6" cols="80" name="body")
producing
<form>
<textarea rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body">
</textarea>
</form>
<textarea rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body1">
</textarea>
<textarea rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body2" class="class">
</textarea>
Thanks for clarifying the docs.
The problem with the textarea I was talking about shows up in your examples too (the spaces that get included within the textarea).
I’d also tried
%form
%textarea(rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body")><
but that hadn’t worked either.
I’ll check that out. The whitespace removal should work I think.
Big thanks! Both your variants work like a charm.
Are you the only developer of Phamlp and why did you choose the yii framework as an ‘framework implementation’ example? PhamlP being framework-independent…
I am just going to switch all my view templates to haml. Really like it. Unfortunately the html2haml script contributed by the haml ruby gem breaks some -> to ?> in many cases… but that’s ok since there aren’t man views yet to convince
Keep up the good work!
Does now.
%form
%textarea(rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body")><
does what it should do and produces
<form><textarea rows="6" cols="80" name="body" id="body"></textarea></form>
The fix is in SVN.
Yes, just me.
Why Yii as the first framework example? Because I’ve been using Yii for a while and it’s the best framework I’ve used. There is now a CakePHP wrapper and someone is working on a Kohana wrapper (am I allowed to mention those here? ).
Glad you like it. Personally I would not go back to plain old PHP/HTML templates or CSS; for me the claims Haml and Sass make about readability and manageability are true.
This does indeed make the templates more readable.
I don’t know if this is a bug or a feature but consider it an enhancement request anyway.
When we are within a filter block (php, plain or something else), any extra indentation should not throw an exception. I keep getting errors like the following in my php and javascript filters.
Illegal indentation level (4); indentation level can only increase by one.
