PHP #region for code folding?

Question

Is there an equivilent of c#\'s #region in PHP?

Answer 1

In Sublime Text there's a package called SyntaxFold.

Installation

1. Ctrl+Shift+P type install and select Package Control: Install Package;
2. In the new menu type SyntaxFold, begin the download and installation by selecting it;
3. Check on the status bar below if it was installed correctly.

Configuration

1. Press Shift+F5 to pop-up the fold panel and select Add Another to accesss the config file;

2. Ensure that it has a default with the strings you want (for some odd reason mine had a quote before the hash: '#Start). I ended up changing it to:

   {
       //you can change in here other config options
       "default":
       {
           "endMarker": "#EOB",
           "name": "Default",
           "startMarker": "#BOB"
       }
   }
   

3. You can also alter the key bindings (the ones below in the Usage section) on Windows by changing them in the file:

   C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\SyntaxFold\Default (Windows).sublime-keymap

Usage

1. Add the enclosing tags you defined in the config file (you can add a description after each tag), in my case:

   #BOB pandora box
   public function alpha()
   {
       # code...
   }
   public function omega()
   {
       # code...
   }
   #EOB pandora box
   

2. To hide the code between the tags, place the cursor between them and press Alt+1 twice.
3. To show it again, place the cursor on the first tag and press Alt+Shift+1 twice.

Alternative for Comment blocks

If you are just interested in folding comment blocks then with Fold Comments package you can press Ctrl+Shift+C to hide and show all comments (it may hide tags of SyntaxFold though).
