I am using visual studio code .I have the php extension installed already . But it is very repetitive to create each php file with the base structure like this one . Since it does'nt automatically insert it for me .
<!DOCTYPE HTML >
<HTML lang="en">
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Is there anyway or short key to quickly copy this structure into the newly created php file ? without using control+C control+V from a note ?
If you are using VS code then you can use this command shift + 1 and enter to auto-populate HTML Doctype in HTML or PHP.
When you will press enter it will add the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
In VS Code,
Type ! and then press Enter
Shift + 1 as !OR
Note:- In VS-Code.
Type !, and then click the first snippet in the auto complete. It will generate the default HTML template
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Or, you can use snippet to add your own code, and this should help you
In a .php file, just type ! at the beginning of the line and then hit the tab key ... you then get:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Create new file with HTML extension and then "Shift + ! + Enter" will work.
I guess one way could also be directly through code itself and I understand your looking for a way to create each php file with the base structure like this one:
<!DOCTYPE HTML >
<HTML lang="en">
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
So then if you're on linux you can run a command like:
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/new_PHPfiles && echo -e "<!DOCTYPE HTML ><HTML lang='en'> <HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD> <BODY></BODY></HTML>" >> ~/Desktop/new_PHPfiles /new_PHPfile.php
Which means on your Desktop/new_PHPfiles location you will get a new file called new_PHPfile.php.
On windows it'd be similar to: echo " " > new_PHPfile.php
