What causes hot pink highlighting?

Why is the text highlighted in hot pink? Syntax is set to php, platform is ST 2.0.1 on OS X.

The hot pink color is being caused by the “/" comment, which is a Drupal convention. Is there a way to stop it from doing this? Is it interpreting "/” as some special syntax?

Why is there a pink line going from the end of the line?

Hot pink is showing invalid syntax.

Your comments are screwed up. You do multi-line comments as * *\ NOT * *.

Actually there are 2 ways to get rid of this pink highlight:

  1. fix the comment’s delimiter as facelessuser said (you have a problem on line 5 * instead of *, but then you need put another comment start right after that)
  2. change color scheme, or modify it… in Packages folder under (/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme) check for:
<dict>
	<key>name</key>
	<string>Invalid</string>
	<key>scope</key>
	<string>invalid</string>
	<key>settings</key>
	<dict>
		<key>background</key>
		<string>#F92672</string>
		<key>fontStyle</key>
		<string></string>
		<key>foreground</key>
		<string>#F8F8F0</string>
	</dict>
</dict>

Hi,

I am using sublime text 3 build 3047. I couldn’t find such a file in my Package control folder. I tried to locate the file using the linux find command.

Following is the result.

./Cache/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai Bright.tmTheme.cache
./Cache/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.tmTheme.cache

I am using the Monokai color schema in my sublime.

Following is a commenting style I usually followed when writing PHP code.

/**
*
some comment string here
*/

The above comment is highlighted as pink in sublime.

Thanks,
Unnikrishnan B.
