Eclipse PDT Code folding

Question

I would like to fold {} brackets i.e if/else, for, while, foreach... sections in eclipse pdt. How can i do it. I don't see any options in settings.

As far as I know, there's no such built-in functionality for PHP code formatting :( — Kel, Oct 25 '10 at 06:22

I've always used Aptana, never knew PDT (or Eclipse!) didn't support such a fundamental feature. – BoltClock May 22 '11 at 17:24

The feature is available in Zend Studio, which is based off Eclipse + PDT. However, Zend also maintains PDT for Eclipse, so they don't want PDT to be competing their overpriced Zend Studio. – bear Jun 23 '11 at 19:41

Use Notepad++, it has the best folding. To be most productive have 2 screens open one with Eclipse and another with Notepad++ with the same code. It is much faster to edit in notepad++ however Eclipse provides much better functionality for debugging, code checks, etc..
