PHP Folding

[Joakim Christiansen]

It would be VERY handy to have folding when editing PHP code, you get so much better overview when dealing with complicated sources then. You can have it for keywords like "If, Function, While" etc.
But also let the users make folding sections themselves, maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

//[ Fold start
Code inside here is not visible before a user press the + button to unfold it
//] Fold end

Where the comments with [ defines a folding start

I really appreciate WeBuilder and I've also bought it to support your development, and if you add this then I can also use it for PHP coding without getting frustrated. (I could even have a banner for it on my site if you add this fast enough)

Hi Joakim,

Try options>Code Collapse

select the code you want to collapse. then, in the gutter next to the line numbers, click the little minus sign at the top of your selection.

I don't think there is yet a 'collapse selection' keyboard shortcut. If there is, some one please point me!

Thanks for showing me this, but it isn't exactly what I wanted. I want folding to be remembered so I can open and close them whenever I want. Now I have to mark the area each time I want to close it.

I must agree. This is a must-have if we want to make more and more developers to use WB/RPHP.

Maybe Karlis could create a project file with all necesary meta-data and store code-folding indexes inside it?

yes! among other things like bookmarks, FTP settings, opened files, project specific snippets, project paths(servers, sql...), 'project notes', all manner of stuff.

project-name.proj (an xml or ini file)

I see now that some of the stuff I was suggesting for project-name.proj is being stored in a file called "memory.ini". maybe that could just be extended? or perhaps that's the secret latvian master plan and we just have to wait.

oooh spooky

In version 2008 we are planning to introduce auto-code-folding for every block with { and } brackets. So every pair of { and } will have + and - option.

Why doesn't the code folding work with Wrap Lines on? It states you can't use both at the same time. Even EditPlus can do that. Is this something that can be added ro fixed in future versions?

Hmm, well I would really like to be able to collapse my CSS code and it doesn't seem to work.
