Surrounding text with a method call

I have a class that has two methods that are used often:self::foo() and self::bar().

I would like to surround text, mainly variables in other methods. I can do comments, if/else, try/catch, etc, but I can't with arbitrary method calls.

I don't even know if PHPStorm does this, honestly. Does anyone know how to do this?

UPDATE

I would like to take this:

function func() {
    return $variable;
}

and make it this:

function func() {
    return self::foo($variable);
}

or

function func() {
    return this->bar($variable);
}

You can create and use Live Template that will do what you want (surround current selection with predefined template): separate template for each method call.

http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+Early+Access+Program -- the last section "Creating Surround Templates" is what you need in particular.

You can extract a function using WebStorm's refactoring tools.

Do do so, mark the code you want to have extracted and press Ctrl + Alt + M.

For more info, have a look at JetBrains' Website: http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2011/05/extract-function-method-refactoring-for-php/

Edit: Thanks for the clarification. I am not aware of a refactoring tool that fulfills this particular need. However, if you have a lot of occurrences in one file, Search and Replace might be helpful.
