Hi Roberto, i tried out your tip, it does work but it looses the syntax highlighting functionality. Is there anyway I can make the new extension open up its contents with syntax and other php oriented functionalities ?

I believe what you want to do is setup a file association in your preferences. Give this a try: Open Window->Preferences. Under General->Editors->File Associations, add your new file extension. Highlight the new extension and use the Associated Editors box below to tie the extension to the PHP editor.
