Surround code fragments

PhpStorm provides standard templates for surrounding code fragments with various constructs based on the language of the source code. This includes if...else conditional statements, do...while and for loops, combinations of try...catch...finally, XML tags, folding regions, and other constructs.

Surround a code block with language constructs

Select the desired code fragment.
On the Code menu, click Surround With Ctrl+Alt+T.
Select the necessary surround statement from the list.

This feature applies to the following languages (contexts):

Context	Surround with	Example
XML/HTML tags	Tag CDATA section <% ... %> Emmet
JavaScript statements	`(expr)` `!(expr)` `if` `if / else` `while` `do / while` `for` `try / catch` `try / finally` `try / catch / finally` `with` `function` `{ }` `function expression`
PHP statements	`if` `if / else` `while` `do / while` `for` `foreach` `try / catch` `function`
Fold code elements	Any fragment of code, where Surround With is applicable
