Indentation of HTML in PHP files within PhpStorm

Question

In a .php file I have a the following code

<? include 'header.php' ?>
    <form action="/">
        <input>
    </form>
<? include 'footer.php' ?>

How can I delete the 4 indents before the HTML tag when I press Ctrl+Alt+L? It should look like this:

<? include 'header.php' ?>
<form action="/">
    <input>
</form>
<? include 'footer.php' ?>

Answer 1

It's a bug with PhpStorm. Until it is fixed, simply put a new line after your last closing PHP tag.

<? include 'header.php' ?>
<form action="/">
    <input>
</form>
<? include 'footer.php' ?>
// new line here

Answer 2

The Ctrl+Alt+L is the shortcut for Reformat Code, which automatically applies the code indentation rules set in the PhpStorm settings.

It is currently not possible to make the code look like you want automatically. You would have to format the code manually every time.

The reason is the limitation of the PhpStorm formatting engine. There is already feature request at the PhpStorm issue tracker which addresses the issue: WI-32401
