PHP Outline View

The PHP Outline View displays the entire PHP project's elements and element types in a tree-like browser. The PHP Outline View does not display any non-PHP elements belonging to the PHP project.

The View is integrated with the Editor, therefore, if you select a PHP element in the PHP Outline View, the Editor will jump to the element's declaration in the file in which it was declared.
