I like to use some php in many of my projects - however there doesn't seem to be any obvious way that php code is supported in brackets - auto-indent, code highlighting, open/close tag & parentheses highlighting would be extremely useful.

Do these features already exist somewhere, am I missing something or do you think they could be considered as a feature in a future release?

@alexconnor7 Brackets is focused on designers and front-end devs, so there's not much server-side support in core Brackets. But there are many extensions for PHP so search the registry. Closing.

@alexconnor7 Are you opening files ending in the extension .php? If so, you should get the following functionality out of the box:

  • Syntax coloring (aka code highlighting)
  • Auto indent
  • Code hints for HTML tags
  • Auto closing of HTML tags
  • Highlighting of matching parentheses in PHP code

More advanced things like code hints for PHP code & APIs will require extensions, but the list above should be built into Brackets. Reopening since it's definitely a problem if you're not seeing those built-in features.

Can you provide a sample piece of code (with filename) that doesn't work properly for you? Here's a sample where all the features on the above list work fine for me:

(filename test.php)

<html>
<body>
<?php
function hello($who) {
    return "Hello " . $who;
}
?>
<p>The program says <?= hello("World") ?>.</p>
</body>
</html>

Hi Peter, thanks for your support on this.
You're right - I am indeed seeing some code coloring, code hints and parentheses highlighting in brackets - looks like it's working as it should.

However, there seems to be no recognition, highlighting or auto indenting of the opening/closing <?php tags themselves - just the script within seems to be working as recognised php. Is this correct?

I appreciate that Brackets is focused mainly on designers and front end - I'm not much of a backend developer myself but I do like to use simple php functions here and there to minimise workload (just some simple echos and includes mostly). I have installed a few php extentions already.

Many thanks,

Alex

Adding needs review as we need more info from @alexconnor7 to determine the feature area.

@alexconnor7 Can you say more about what you're expecting Brackets to do with <?php open-tags that it's not currently doing?

Using Brackets in Linux Mint Debian edition, PHP, and other languages work just fine, indenting, closing tags, and I should note, that I didn't add any of the addons, except themes.

Closing this issue as a duplicate of #10038 (which is newer, but has more details).

@alexconnor7 Let us know if you were referring to something else.
