vs code formatting mixed php and html

[justinblayney]

I have set up formatting in vs code, and it works great for css and php when they are by themselves, the problem is when I mix PHP and HTML.

for example I want

<div>
   <?php>
      <?php>
         <div></div>
      <?php>
   <?ph>
</div>

on save, it will make it

<div>
<?php>
<?php>
   <div></div>
<?php>
<?php>
</div>

I know I shouldn't mix the 2, but the PHP is just loops and conditional statements, so much easier to write as I am.

Any way to do this?

You can run phpcs with the -s flag to show the sniffs which are complaining, then you can disable those sniffs in your custom standard or per-file.

Hello,
is there a way to run it only on the page im working on, that command grabs everything, including vendor folders which gets 1000s of hits and isn't useful

Presuming you are using git: phpcs -s --filter=GitModified

Install PHP Extension: Ensure you have the PHP extension installed in VS Code. This extension provides PHP language support and formatting features.

Configure Formatting Settings:

Open your VS Code settings (press Ctrl + , or go to File > Preferences > Settings).
Search for "format" in the search bar to filter formatting-related settings.
Adjust the settings for PHP and HTML formatting to your preference. For example:
"php.format.enable": true, "php.suggest.basic": false, "editor.formatOnSave": true, // Enable format on save "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", // Use Prettier as the default formatter

You can also specify specific settings for HTML formatting within PHP files::

"[php]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" }

Use Prettier or Other Formatter: Consider using a code formatter like Prettier for consistent formatting across HTML and PHP code blocks. Prettier supports formatting both PHP and HTML code, ensuring uniform formatting styles.

Ensure Proper Indentation: Make sure your PHP and HTML code blocks are properly indented to maintain readability. Proper indentation helps differentiate between PHP and HTML blocks and improves code organization.

Prettier doesn't support php.

Is there a way to do this? It's pretty annoying.
