gedit vs Komposer vs php files

[rick71]

If gedit is installed, Komposer won't open php files. If I try to change what app opens .php files through Nautilus, Kompozer just tries to open another copy of itself. How can I have gedit installed without it taking over .php files, but still allow gedit to open .php files when needed?

Any and all help appreciated.

The problem is not solved. Installing apps in a particular order to get them to work isn't really a solution, it is a workaround, at best.
