Simplifies injecting a property into the constructer as a property, setting it in the constructor, and defining the class property. I add

insert_property.py

import sublime, sublime_plugin

class InsertPropertyCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
	def run(self, edit):
		beginningOfClass = self.view.find_all(r"<\?php(.*\n)*class(.*\n*)\{")[0].end()
		constructorFirstLinePos = self.view.find_all(r"__construct(.*\n*).*\{")[0]
		constructorPos = self.view.find_all(r"__construct(.*\n*){1,10}?\}")[0]
		selectionWordPosition = self.view.word(self.view.sel()[0])

		constructorFirstLineStr = self.view.substr(constructorFirstLinePos)
		constructorStr = self.view.substr(constructorPos)
		symbol = self.view.substr(selectionWordPosition)

		# nextchar = self.view.substr(constructorFirstLinePos.end())

		if symbol in constructorFirstLineStr and ("$" + symbol + ";" not in constructorStr):
			self.view.insert(edit, constructorFirstLinePos.end(), "\n\t\t$this->" + symbol + " = $" + symbol + ';')
			self.view.insert(edit, beginningOfClass, "\n\n\tprotected $" + symbol + ";")
