PhpStorm 2024.2 Help

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

  1. Select a code fragment.

  2. Press Ctrl+Alt+T or go to Code | Surround With in the main menu.

  3. Select the necessary surround statement from the list.
