PHP #region for code folding?

Question

Is there an equivilent of c#\'s #region in PHP?

Answer 1

There is no equivalent (the other answers explain why), but let me show you how I do it:

//////////////////////////
/* REGION A */ {

    function SomeFunction() {
        return true;
    }

    function AnotherFunction() {
        return false;
    }

}

//////////////////////////
/* REGION B */ {

    function ThirdFunction() {
        return true;
    }

    function FourthFunction() {
        return false;
    }

}

The curly braces allow me to fold the block of code (your editor will need to support cold folding, but almost all of them do), while I still see the region name and have a simple visual divider.

Folded Result:

//////////////////////////
/* REGION A */ { 

//////////////////////////
/* REGION B */ {
