I've been fiddling around with trying to make a new PHP package, as well as freshen some old packages that I used to maintain. I'll see if I can get something out soon.

The closest to what you're asking about, though, was in an "EditorActions" package that I have, which had a "Smart New Line" function I bound to ^J (which was the old equivalent in Emacs, IIRC). This was to fill in BBEdit's lack of context-aware indenting and go a bit beyond it, like continuing Markdown bullet lists, indenting after braces in C-like languages or lines ending in ":" in Python, filling in an "end" statement after "def" in Ruby or Elixir, and so on. For docblocks, if the line was "/**" then it would fill in a " * " on the next line and a " **/" under it, and you could keep typing ^J and it would continue the multi-line comment. It didn't introspect the actual PHP code to fill in "@param" and "@result" lines, though.

I am hoping that a future version of BBEdit will have Language Server Protocol support. When I write PHP in BBEdit, I miss some of those IDE-like features that Visual Studio Code provides through LSP, but when I write PHP in Code, I hit little editing snags that would be easier in BBEdit. :)
