Making opening and closing PHP tags fold?

[Restless]

Sometimes I work on files with multiple PHP blocks in them, so I'd like to be able to fold the <? and ?> tags. I tried to implement it by modifying the code folding strings lines in the appropriate place in my php.uew file, to no avail:

Code: Select all

/Open Fold Strings = "{" "<?"
/Close Fold Strings = "}" "?>"


It appears from my testing that the question mark is viewed as a special character and my various attempts to escape the character haven't been fruitful. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Mike

You can use in php.uew:

/Open Fold Strings = "{" "?php"
/Close Fold Strings = "}" "?>"

That will work for php sections like

<?php
/*php block */
?>

But if you use the short opening tag <? without php you have a problem because the < is interpreted by UltraEdit as HTML and therefore interpreted according to html.uew and the ? already as PHP interpreted according to php.uew. You could use

/Open Fold Strings = "{" "?"
/Close Fold Strings = "}" "?>"

but I assume, you would not be happy with that open fold string.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you very much!
