VS Code php tag autocomplete

Question

kind of trivial question but here it goes. I can\'t figure out why VS Code autocompletes (with tab) all html tags correctly while php tag not. When i type \"php\" and hit t

Answer 1

Under File > Preferences there is User Snippets, use html for adding php snippets.

{
  "Snippet name": {
  "prefix": ["keywords", "for", "finding"],
  "body": [
    "<?php ${1:placeholder} ?>"
  ],
  "description": "A php tag."
  }
}

$1, $2 etc. are variables that will be on focus when snippet is entered. You can also use placeholder as presented in my example.

For multiline body, end current line with comma and add content at new line in " ". You can find more information about creating own snippets in VS Code here:
