I'll ask around.

Ok.

Hmm I missed that subtleness in your patch. I'll go and see about it
again, as I use strpos in a number of other places as well.

Yes, I have those.

I mean a proper full set of indent settings, so that vim can auto-indent
PHP from the get go, just like it can do C++ and C.

That way I can code up a function in my personal format, then select
everything, and  apply a style that converts to PEAR coding standards
automatically.

I have one so far that I found on the net, but it _requires_ me to end a
switch block with: default:\nbreak;\n} which I can't do, as I need the
default: statement for some of my code.
