Undo saved file after close

I've lost a very important file, because when I'm working on it, and I decide to test something there, I've deleted a very important part in it, and then my PC shuts down, so now I have missing a very important part from there. That was a .php file, and I'm using Zend Studo.

Is it possible to undo last operation after save, if I close the file?

Sorry for such a question, I understand, that this not from programming sphere, but I don't know what to do.

8You can recreate it from a version control, or at least the last backup. If you don't use a vcs, you maybe realize now, what they are good for. – KingCrunch – 2011-12-30T21:43:12.487

It was local files, and i'm working on windows. – None – 2011-12-30T21:45:20.520

Netbeans has a thing called Local History, which is basically a history of previous versions. I don't know Zend Studio, but it seems it has something similar.

Just like in Netbeans, you can compare versions from different dates, restore sections, etc., take a look here.

Eclipse also has this feature. Even though I commit frequently, I would not use an IDE without this feature. – Mawg says reinstate Monica – 2017-06-08T12:05:54.177

It can only restore deleted files, not undo operations. – None – 2011-12-30T22:06:38.867

@Syom According to the documentation, it works almost exactly the same as in Netbeans; you can compare versions from different dates, restore sections, etc. Take a look: http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Studio/comparing_files.htm
