Correct indentation of HTML and PHP using Vim

I've been using Vim for a while, and I can't get proper HTML indentation working in PHP files.

For example, what I want is for each child to be indented one tab more than it's parent, as shown below.

<?php
if(isset($sports)) {
	//Do something
?>
<div>
	<label>Uniform Size</label>
	<ul>
		<li class="left"><label for="s" class="small">S</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="S" id="s" class="radio" /></li>
		<li class="left"><label for="m" class="small">M</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="M" id="m" class="radio" /></li>
		<li class="left"><label for="l" class="small">L</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="L" id="l" class="radio" /></li>
		<li class="left"><label for="xl" class="small">XL</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="XL" id="xl" class="radio" /></li>
	</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Using the PHP-correct-Indent script, the code results in being formatted as follows:

<?php
if(isset($sports)) {
	//Do something
?>
<div>
<label>Uniform Size</label>
<ul>
<li class="left"><label for="s" class="small">S</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="S" id="s" class="radio" /></li>
<li class="left"><label for="m" class="small">M</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="M" id="m" class="radio" /></li>
<li class="left"><label for="l" class="small">L</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="L" id="l" class="radio" /></li>
<li class="left"><label for="xl" class="small">XL</label><input type="radio" name="size[]" value="XL" id="xl" class="radio" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Even with indented HTML which I then add PHP code to, the indentation is ignored, moving new lines of HTML code without any indentation at all.

So, is there any way that I can get the indentation format that I want working with HTML within PHP files, using Vim?

This still bothers me. I only just decided that the best work-around (for me personally) is this:

:set filetype=html

And then highlight your text and hit =. BOOM! HTML formatting succes. (Not ideal, I know, but at least it works.)

There is a set of vimrc instructions on the Vim Wiki called Better indent support for PHP with HTML that will use the correct plugin depending on the block.

There is also a Vundle/Pathogen Plugin that uses the same code but is easier to install and keeps your .vimrc clean.

Pathogen

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/captbaritone/better-indent-support-for-php-with-html.git

Vundle

Place in .vimrc

Bundle 'captbaritone/better-indent-support-for-php-with-html'

Run in vim

:BundleInstall

After looking really really hard into all solutions, I found out this plugin:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=604

It seems to have solved my problems!!!!!

For me it works good if I first do :set ft=html and then :set syn=php.

In php+html I found the following is good for me.

:set ft=html # Change the file type to html
=G # to indent all lines 
:set ft=phtml # Change the file type to phtml
=G # to indent all php lines

php-correct-indenting only cares about your PHP, and assumes the readability of the HTML is of no interest. An XML indenter would position the tags nicely, but wouldn't be able to indent the contents of a <?php> processing instruction to match. Maybe there is an indentation script that understands both the C-like syntax of PHP the programming language and [X][HT]ML the markup language being templated, but I've never met one yet - sorry.

Still, I'd like to fiddle with the indenting in your example even before php-correct-indenting mauled it! The <div> element is inside an outer if-statement, but I have no way to see that from the indenting. I'd suggest something like:

<?php if(isset($sports)) { ?>
    <?php
        // Do something
    ?>
    <div>
        <label>Uniform Size</label>
        <ul>
            <li>etc. etc.</li>
        </ul>
    </div>
<?php } ?>

i found this solution is much better. http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1120

supporting HEREDOC html style. which occur frequently in my code.
BTW:it's has more versions than the old one (script id 604, alex posted it above)

inside your .vimrc:

:function IndentPHPHTML()
:  set ft=html
:  normal gg=G
:  set ft=php
:endfunction

use ctrl-shift-L (or whatever) to indent

nnoremap <C-S-l> :call IndentPHPHTML()<cr>

After searching for days for the solution ,nothing worked and finally this worked,add this to your vimrc

au BufEnter,BufNew *.php :set filetype=html
