Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/183

It would be awesome if file manager automatically recognize the document type.

Example :- if we are editing php file then document type should automatically pick php template. But it is picking only JavaScript. we have to manually change this to php.

However is there any way to set default language to php from javaScript. because I'm working only on Php files. So every time after i click save i have to choose php template. its annoying.

e.g. editor.getSession().setMode( {path:"ace/mode/php", inline:true} );
note : dropdown selection will not change

Thanks buddy for your quick reply. It helps.
But the problem is that now I'm unable to switch to JavaScript. Anyways i don't need JavaScript.
eg: I'm editing http://xxxx.xxx/tinyfilemanager.php?p=&edit=tinyfilemanager.php here editing edit=tinyfilemanager.php then it should choose mode automatically. i.e php in this case. and if i'm editing http://xxxx.xxx/tinyfilemanager.php?p=&edit=translation.json then it should choose mode to Json.

I believe a simple this code would be ok for this

<?php if (isset($_GET['edit'])) { $filename_= $_GET["edit"]; $ext_ = pathinfo($filename_, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);	}     else { $ext_= "javascript";      } ?>

editor.getSession().setMode( {path:"ace/mode/<?php echo $ext_; ?>", inline:true} ); ```
