It's probably one of two things. First thing to check is if Sublime correctly set the syntax hightlighter. You can go to View >> Syntax >> and make sure PHP is selected. Or in the bottom right of the window, it'll show what syntax highlighter it is using. Also try switching themes. Depending on the theme, it may not have the best color coding for PHP.

Ah right, i think i got it, its the theme i believe. It displays tags like echo normal , but it doesnt recognies the WP code, while when i code in pure php, it does.

You can change the colour preferences in Sublime. If you are using a Mac then, in the menu bar, go to Sublime Text > Preferences > Color Scheme.
