PHP Code folding Flash Demo

PhpED Code folding is another great productivity booster added to the array of NuSphere PHP Tools. With Code Folding you can selectively hide and display sections of a currently-edited file. PHP IDE displays the collapsible regions of the code with folding marks. You can manage large regions of potentially complicated text within one window, while still viewing only those subsections of the text specifically relevant to the editing session.

PhpED allows you to mark and collapse any part of the text in the editor. In addition to the manual selection, PhpED Code Folding also automatically detects and marks the following elements in PHP code:
  • PHP tags
  • PHP Comments
  • PHP Classes
  • Methods in PHP Classes
  • PHP Functions
