[SVN] Re: Any chance of a little help sorting this language regexp to make php coding less painful in textmate?

[Gabriel Gilder]

I took a look and I can't make it work either... I also noticed that none of
the built-in folding markers besides curly brackets are working. From the
definition it looks like folding should be applied to multiline comments and
heredoc strings, but neither of those is triggering folding for me.
