Can you please attach a sample project and provide exact steps to reproduce?

Simply reopen this issue, thanks.

Hi,
yes it is very simple:

This the project structure:

$ tree
.
├── index.php
├── MyClass.php
└── nbproject
    ├── private
    │   ├── config.properties
    │   ├── phpcsmd.xml
    │   ├── private.properties
    │   └── private.xml
    ├── project.properties
    └── project.xml

2 directories, 8 files


My simple class looks like this:



class MyClass
{

    public function __construct() {
        
    }
    
    public function tryToRefactorMe()
    {
        //... code here
        $html  = '';
        $params = ['name1', 'name2'];
        foreach ($params as $value) {
            $html .= $value;
        }        

        return $html;

    }

}




I 'd like to extract a new method from the existing "tryToRefactorMe" method,
to get something similar:



    //... class code here

    public function tryToRefactorMe()
    {
        //... code here
        $html  = $this->newExtractedMethod($params);
        //... code here

        return $html;

    }

    private function newExtractedMethod($params)
    {
        //... code here     
    }
    //... class code here




If I try to surround the part of the code to be refactorized, the submenu does not show the universal know "extract method" refactoring option; I have only have "move", copy", etc and no one of these command works.


I know that IDEs who implement refactoring, usually have mode options, such as "Extract Method", etc etc ...


thanks in advance!

The cause is simple: "Extract Method" refactoring is currently not supported in
PHP support (it is supported perhaps only in Java support).

Thanks for reporting.
