Help with Code indentation

[Shailen_TJ]

Hello,

I need to automatically indent a code from this:

    public function __construct ()

    {

        $this->connection = mysqli_connect($this->server, $this->username,

        $this->password, $this->databasename, $this->port);

        $this->throwExceptionOnError($this->connection);

    }

to:

    public function __construct ()

    {

        $this->connection = mysqli_connect(

                                           $this->server,

                                           $this->username,

                                           $this->password,

                                           $this->databasename,

                                           $this->port

                                           );

        $this->throwExceptionOnError($this->connection);

    }

I tired to find possible settings in Preferences, but I could not tell Flash Builder to auto-indent my code like this. My aim is to be able to select all code, and just press Ctrl+Shift+F to do the job.

I am using Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP. From the help here (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-25a895a612e8e9b8c8e-7ff1.html), I do not get Indentation, immediately after Flash Builder in the Preferences window. Instead, Indentation is burried under Flash Builder > Editors > MXML Code > Indentation.

I would appreciate any help.

Hi Shailen,

Read about PHP code formatting in this page: http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Studio/formatter.htm

It is related to Zend Studio but applies to Flash Builder for PHP 4.5 as well.

Roy, Amazing! I have now created my own Formatter profile, and edited the Zend presets to suit the way I want my code to be indented.

However, I still cannot find a way to insert a new line after each field access:

function dosmthg(){

     smthg->$x,

     smthg2->$y,

          smthg3->$z

}

Do you know how to do it?

Thank you.

Hello Roy,

I have attempted to format my PHP code in Flash Builder, but without any success.

Basically, I have a function and within that function, there is another function that takes a string as parameter. I want to indent that string, but there is no way I can tell the formatter to indent that string:

    public function getTools ()

    {

        $stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection,

        "SELECT

              tools.tID,

              tools.tToolName,

tools.tShortDesc,

              pResponsible.pLastName,

              pToolOwner.pLastName,

              tools.tComponentID,

              tools.tLevelOfDetailID

FROM tools

      INNER JOIN People pResponsible

ON tools.tResponsiblePersonID = pResponsible.pID

      INNER JOIN People pToolOwner

ON tools.tToolOwnerID= pToolOwner.pID");

        $this->throwExceptionOnError();

     // code truncated..

     }

What I want is this:

    public function getTools ()

    {

        $stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection,

        "SELECT

              tools.tID,

              tools.tToolName,

              tools.tShortDesc,

              pResponsible.pLastName,

              pToolOwner.pLastName,

              tools.tComponentID,

              tools.tLevelOfDetailID

        FROM tools

        INNER JOIN People pResponsible ON tools.tResponsiblePersonID = pResponsible.pID

        INNER JOIN People pToolOwner ON tools.tToolOwnerID= pToolOwner.pID");

        $this->throwExceptionOnError();

     // code truncated..

     }

I would really appreciate any help on this!

Thank you.
