As i already mentioned under question comment "As i know you can't do such thing in eclipse as eclipse has only options to format code part i mean the text part inside php tags <?php ...code text... ?>"
But you can achieve it with this php script
Very important before start: Backup your php project which you are going to mention in dirToArray() function
// Recursive function to read directory and sub directories
// it build based on php's scandir - http://php.net/manual/en/function.scandir.php
function dirToArray($dir) {
$result = array();
$cdir = scandir($dir);
foreach ($cdir as $key => $value){
if (!in_array($value,array(".",".."))){
if (is_dir($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value)){
$result = array_merge(
$result,
dirToArray($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value)
);
}else{
$result[] = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value;
}
}
}
return $result;
}
// Scanning project files
$files = dirToArray("/home/project"); // or C:/project... for windows
// Reading and converting to single line php blocks which contain 3 or less lines
foreach ($files as $file){
// Reading file content
$content = file_get_contents($file);
// RegExp will return 2 arrays
// first will contain all php code with php tags
// second one will contain only php code
// UPDATED based on Michael's provided regexp in this answer comments
preg_match_all( '/<\?php\s*\r?\n?(.*?)\r?\n?\s*\?>/i', $content, $blocks );
$codeWithTags = $blocks[0];
$code = $blocks[1];
// Loop over matches and formatting code
foreach ($codeWithTags as $k => $block){
$content = str_replace($block, '<?php '.trim($code[$k]).' ?>', $content );
}
// Overwriting file content with formatted one
file_put_contents($file, $content);
}
NOTE: This is just simple example and of course this script can be improved
// Result will be that this
text text text<?php
echo "11111";
?>
text text text<?php
echo "22222"; ?>
text text text<?php echo "33333";
?>
<?php
echo "44444";
echo "44444";
?>
// will be formated to this
text text text<?php echo "11111"; ?>
text text text<?php echo "22222"; ?>
text text text<?php echo "33333"; ?>
<?php
echo "44444";
echo "44444";
?>
eclipseaseclipsehas only options to format code part i mean the text part inside php tags<?php ...code text... ?>, but i can suggest as alternative creation of simple php script which will read given php file content format it and overwrite itEclipseformatting options. The question is also asking for an existing alternative that can do that. If you know one, kindly post it :)
