netbeans PHP include path

[eluser]erolyildiz[/eluser]
Hi,

I am using codeigniter with netbeans and would like to use code completion for codeigniter classes. I added all of the codeigniter folders under system folder to the PHP include path but code completion works partly. For example it can't complete $this->load() function for a class extending Controller class.

Shall I include other things to have a full code completion?

Thanks.

I doubt you will have full code completion in PHP frameworks with netbeans. You should try phpdesigner or Zend.

I tried a version of eclipse which has PDT and a debugger offered in zend side and it can't do completion fully too. Again it can't complete $this->load function etc.

I tried eclipse with PDT, easyeclipse php version, netbeans and komodo for auto completion and just komodo can do fully completion. None of the other editors can comeplete $this->load function but komodo can.

Hi,

I'm a newbie to PHP and CodeIginiter.
Code-completion is something that really helps me when learning CodeIgniter.

I just read an article on NB4PHP developer blog (http://blogs.sun.com/netbeansphp/entry/f...de_insight).
It refers to an article written for CakePHP.
But the principles apply to CodeIginter, too.

For example, I put it this way in a contoller :
<?php
/**
* @property CI_Loader $load
* @property CI_Form_validation $form_validation
* @property CI_Input $input
* @property CI_Email $email
*
*/
class Form extends Controller
{
function index()
{
$this->load->helper(array('date','form'));
$this->load->library(array('email','form_validation'));

//Validaton rules
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div class="error">', '</div>');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('member_no','Member Number','trim|required|numeric');
....
}
}

So, when we type $this-> it will offer load in the code-completion.
And when we type $this->load-> will offer all functions from the CI_Loader class.

Hope the info helps.

Thx, very good tip.
Netbeans is cool, another very useful one to add

* @property CI_DB_active_record $db

Now were getting code completion on

Code:

$this>db>...

One I use the most.

That sounds really nice. At the moment i am using Dreamweaver CS4 for all my Stuff becouse i got a cheap student license.

But i am thinking of using some other editor just for PHP. Does Eclipse rock?
