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 tab, it creates this:
<php></php>
which is useless and i have no idea why it's there. I want it to do normal php tag
<?php ?>
I have turned off suggestions as they were distracting me. Anyway to edit default/top "tab autocomplete" item?
this hack worked for me: go to 'Preferences: Open User Snippets', and paste this snippet into the html (yes, that's html) user snippets:
"php": {
"prefix": "php",
"body": [
"<?php $1 ?>"
],
"description": "php tag"
}
I would elaborate on Lane's answer by putting the final cursor represented by $0 in a new line between the tags. In the snippet, each comma inside the "body" array represents a new line.
So in Visual Sutiio Code go to File > Preferences > User Snippets search for "html.json" and edit it by pasting this:
{
// Place your snippets for html here.
"php": {
"prefix": "php",
"body": ["<?php", "$0", "?>"],
"description": "php tag"
}
}
In Visual Studio Code, go to File > Preferences > User Snippets > html.json file and then paste the following code:
"php": {
"prefix": "php",
"body": [
"<?php $1 ; ?>",
"$2"
],
"description": "php tag"
}
