Why is VS Code removing closing tag ?> on save. anyone knows?

Question

when i save my php file then VS Code removes ?> tag from ending. and its causing problems in execution. I dont know why is this happening. If anyone knows please help. Thank u.

Update: I was using Es-lint and Prettier extensions at the same time. I removed them and now its fine.

Answer 1

End tag removal is covered here in detail: PHP end tag "?>" It's recommended practice for pure PHP files.

Answer 2

I find two ways to solve this problem.

1. Go to VSCode settings and in the search bar type "format", then uncheck Editor: Format on save. Formatting the code will no longer work, but VSCode will also not delete the PHP closing tag.

2. Install the php cs fixer extension and I hope it will solve the issue.
