I'm using NetBeans to develop a PHP app, and it works just fine for any PHP pages which output HTML. However, some of my PHP scripts output XML and (more specifically) KML. NetBeans doesn't seem to understand this, and I get a load of "invalid content" errors in the IDE, as it expects me to be outputting proper HTML code. Is there som...
