Apply source formatting to the php pages, strange behaviour

When I try to apply the source formatting to the php pages, the code show indent and spaces not necessary.

Instead if I use the same process on a html page, the source code is formatted correctly.

Is a bug or Dreamweaver (Adobe) consider PHP code in a different way?

PHP page (source formatting wrong):

HTML page (source formatting correct)

Correct answer Kratika Agarwal

I'm not going to speak for everybody but the issues I was aware off seem to be fixed now in the pre release (15073) ...

They were:

1) Non-breaking spaces and line breaks added in PHP code in some instances when using the 'format source code' tool

2) Minor issues with settings in tag libraries not being obeyed when using 'format source code' tool

Thanks ....

No, absolutely no progress.

Adobe usually release only two updates yearly (March and June/July) before of the major upgrade (that correspond autumn of each year, Adobe Max), so we need to wait a lot of time (always that they are working about it).

The only workaround for me is to switch to the previous version 2015 (the last stable version of Dreamweaver).

Actually I prefer the source formatting for html files that you show for php files.

Which just goes to prove that everyone is different, and no matter what they do, they will not please everyone.

Yes, but I'd like an uniform behaviour (always that Dreamweaver is still considered a professional editor).

This post is to understand if these different behaviours are wanted or not by Adobe.

Can anyone in the Technical Staff answer/reply me?

Users have complained about the different source formatting in Dw since the Brackets code editor was incorporated into it in Dw 2017, and no one has said why it works that way. Maybe it has to do with Brackets being open source, and each contributor implementing the feature(s) how they want, without a standard being imposed.

I don't think anyone from the Dw dev team will answer why, (at least they have not so far). The 'standard' stock answer has become a, 'if you do not like it use Dw2015'. Which sort of defeats the purpose of paying for newer features, if you must switch versions to use them.
