PHP MimeViewer for Trac

As John Herren pointed out in the comments to yesterday's post, my suggestion for PHP syntax coloring wasn't working for several versions of Trac.
After a little digging, it turned out that my CSS rules were based on the non-standard SilverCity highlighting output, rather than the newer and more common native PHP highlighting.
While reviewing the output from the native PHP highlighter, I noticed that Trac's manipulation of the output from highlight_string() isn't quite right. The way things are now, as of Trac 0.10rc1, an intended multi-line docblock only has the first "/**" highlighted as a comment ... the rest of the docblock is highlighted as default PHP (the code-lang class).
I've been clamoring for good PHP syntax coloring output in Trac for a long time. Rather than pass the buck and put this on the Trac team, I've released a little PHP-based shell script called php_mimeview.
With php_mimeview installed, simply update the [mimeviewer] config section of trac.ini in your Trac project to point php_path to the full path location of php_mimeview. With that script, plus these rules in your site_css.cs template file:
[source language=":css"]
.code-keyword { color: #007700; }
.code-lang { color: #0000BB; }
.code-comment { color: #FF8000; }
.code-string { color: #DD0000; }
[/source]
... you'll get what you're probably used to seeing in syntax-highlighted PHP code.
Thanks to John Herren for the nudge to investigate this further.

One thing on pearified: I was able to add the channel fine, but I get an error when trying to list the packages:
> pear list-all -c pearified.com
File http://pearified.com:80/Chiara_PEAR_Server_REST/c/categories.xml not valid (received: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
)
oh, and drop me a line sometime — I’m trying to keep in better touch with my PHP bretheren.

Clay,
I was looking for a solution for the PHP syntax highlighting on Trac, and look what I’ve found!
The link to download the file from Pearified is broken, though.

Download link is fixed now, sorry about that — caused by a server move.
