"syntax on" within vim or in your .vimrc
"filetype plugin indent on" would enable filetype-specific settings.
Google for some example .vimrc files. VIM is actually very flexible ;-)
One pretty complex but commented example is Ciaran's. You can find it
at http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/configs/vimrc

If vim (or gvim) is not enough check out Quanta (for php development):
