Autoformat Issue with VS 2026 and PHP Tools

jeHawWebdesign

I need advice because this is starting to drive me nuts.

I have a single line command:

if( session_status() === PHP_SESSION_NONE ) session_start();

for instance. When I add the semi-colon, it automatically becomes:

if( session_status() === PHP_SESSION_NONE )
    session_start();

This is not desired. I have turned every "wrap" setting in the Options for PHP off and it still does it. I have added

[*.php]
php_format_keep_simple_statements_on_one_line = true

to the .editorconfig (not sure if this is correct, ChatGPT source) and it still does it. I cannot turn off the setting to autoformat on ;, I have other formatting I need applied.

What setting exactly stops the wrapping for single line commands?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the question.

The list of formatting rules for .editorconfig are listed on https://docs.devsense.com/vs/editor/customize-formatting/#wrapping

I think you're looking for php_format_keep_control_statements_on_one_line = true
