OK, I still like the editor but does this mean:
1) It can't be done.
2) We are working on it.
3) I have posted this in the wrong place.

It just means that this is a forum, and us volunteers don't always see every post.
Why not just use your "explorer" on the computer, navigate to your "program files" then "coffeecup" and find the "snippets" folder. Open that folder, and create a new folder called "php" or something like that. Put your code snippets for php in that folder.
Now when you use the CC Editor, in the "files" tab on the left, look for your snippets folder, select it, then open the "php" folder and you should have your snippets in there ready to use.

Thanks for posting, that does sound reasonable. When I tried that the "snippets" panel was blind to the new folder created inside the snippets folder.

Yes, the snippets folder will be blind to it, so just use the Files tab and navigate to it. Not as handy, and I have no idea why the snippets tab is being silly.

Maybe they could add a line in the .ini file so that a user can customize the "snippet" folder list. Do the makers read these threads?
In the mean time I think I will just empty the current contents of the snippet folder and just have php stuff in there.
Thanks very much for your assistance.

I was about to post a new thread but then thought, "Search first!" and you have the exact same issue.
Once you collect several snippets and generate a long list, things get a bit cumbersome, so I created:
CSS Layouts
CSS Menus
CSS Misc
in the snippets folder in Prog Files/CC and exact same way as you say, the new folders can't be seen but it would make organising things a lot easier if they could. Browsing to the folders via Files isn't the same as it won't insert like a snippet.
I think that it would be a good improvement.

I agree that it would be nice to have the capability.
I have found something interesting.
Paste the following code into your editor and then save it as a .xml file in the Javascript folder inside the CC Program folder. Then close and restart CC.
Check out your Javascript Tab and you should see a php snips folder.
