php code not indenting in adobe brackets

7.1k views Asked by At

I am using Adobe Brackets 1.0 code editor.

I have .php pages that include HTML & PHP lines.

HTML lines indenting fine BUT PHP lines do not indent correctly!

is there any extension or way to force PHP lines to indent correctly?

I've used and tried the following extensions but non of them did the job:

  1. [PHP-SIG] PHP SmartHints
  2. PHP Syntax Hint
  3. QuickDocsPHP
  4. QuickDocsRegEx
  5. Tab tags
  6. WordHint

Thanks

P.S. I can't believe such good editor lack this important feature & functionality out-of-the-box.

I found a workaround to indent php codes

all what I had to do is to wrap the php code inside {}

Example

<body>
  <div>
    <div>
      <!-- some html contents -->
      <?php
      {
        //your php code here;
        //next lines will be indented correctly;
      }
      ?>
      <div>
        <div>
          <?php
          {
            //php code here;
            //another php line;
          }
          ?>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>

I found this way works fine with me and not causing any issues to the codes or to the pages.

Hope this helps

Try to install the "Indentator" extension and press Ctrl+Alt+i
