Gedit is a good text editor with many plugins which make it become almost an IDE. In many cases, I prefer it to eclipse for example.
But for php it misses heredoc string highlighting. An heredoc string is for example :

echo <<<

here I can write a big string with some ' or some "

without need to escape them with \ but I can put some {$variables} or {$tableau['0']

HTML;

After a little search, I found the language specs for php here:
/usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/php.lang
So I edited this file (as root, with sudo in my case) and add this block :

<<<</start-regex>

<end-regex>[A-Z]+[;]</end-regex>

</string>
