Parse snippets inside of <?php ?> -tags?

[circlewaves]

Hello,

I try to add some custom php-snippets, but for some reason it doesn't work inside of php-tags.
For example, I have json file with my custom-snippets (file snippets-php.json):

{
"html": {
"snippets": {
"mysnippet": "Some text goes here",
}
}
}

This snippet works fine if I try to expand "mysnippet" outside of php-tags, but inside of php tags "mysnippet" just converts into , for example file index.php:

mysnippet // this converts into "Some text goes here"

?>

I have tried a lot of solutions, but unfortunately, without success, e.g.

{
"php": {
"snippets": {
"mysnippet": "Some text goes here",
}
}
}

Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance!

For some reason, Brackets identifies PHP-syntax as clike.

So, you should use your latter example to create PHP snippets, but use clike instead of php:

{
    "clike": {
        "snippets": {
            "mysnippet": "Some text goes here",
        }
    }
}

@sergeche Do you know how Brackets identifies JavaScript syntax in this case?

I have tried the following to add JS snippets with no luck:

{
    "js": {
        "snippets": {
            "mysnippet": "Some text goes here"
        }
    }
}

Also,

{
    "javascript": {
        "snippets": {
            "mysnippet": "Some text goes here"
        }
    }
}

Any solution would be very appreciated!
