hey @tecnoweb, thanks for the report. can you reproduce the issue in the kitchen sink with PHP mode on? when I paste the code from the issue there, it gets syntax highlighting (see screenshot, made with Dracula theme enabled). Also, which theme are you using? Try using a different theme to see if syntax highlighting becomes visible.

I try show you,
Not detect end of variable
foreach($variable as $key):
if($variale == true):
return true;
else:
return false;
endif;
endforeach;

Detect variable **{**
foreach($variable as $key) {
if($variale == true){
    return true; 
} else {
    return false; 
   }

}

Thank you for the details and screenshots. This is how I understood the issue, please correct me if I'm wrong: ace PHP mode does not recognise alternative syntax with colons as nested code and does not show the folding controls, and does not highlight closing tag (e.g. endforeach;) as a closing brace. I can reproduce it in the kitchen sink.

This might be fixed by using pythonic folding mode for PHP (since it also handles nested code structures without braces), or mixing CStyle folding mode with pythonic one using mixed folding mode, or implementing PHP folding mode which would handle both cases - I am not sure which would help, these are listed in order of approximate effort required. Folding mode would be used in the PHP mode. Contributions are welcome!

I have try to add some modification but unable to do it can you help me ?

i have try make this .. but not work..

`"use strict";

var oop = require("../lib/oop");
var lang = require("../lib/lang");
var BaseFoldMode = require("../mode/folding/fold_mode").FoldMode;

function PHPAlternativeFoldMode() {
this.foldingStartMarker = /<?php\s*(?::|if|else|elseif|endif|for|endfor|while|endwhile|foreach|endforeach|switch|case|break|default|endswitch)\b/;
this.foldingStopMarker = /^\s*(?:end[a-zA-Z0-9_]+|endif|endforeach|endfor|endwhile|endswitch)\b/;
}

oop.inherits(PHPAlternativeFoldMode, BaseFoldMode);

exports.PHPAlternativeFoldMode = PHPAlternativeFoldMode;
`
