How to find out member variables and functions of CI_Model and CI_Controller.

[quote author="Crusoe" date="1309905086"]Yes, I was trying to make auto-complete work with codeigniter. I got it working to the extent that if I type $this-> I get a list of member variables now. Next step is make the methods of these member variables visible. I am of the same opinion as gvdvenis in this post

The framework would have been easier to use if the CI team had used a "more common" way of doing things.

I was rather hoping someone from the Codeigniter dev team would post some explanation for using this approach. Maybe they have a valid reason for doing it this way. If they do, it would be nice to know what it is.[/quote]

Nothing in the original post made me think you were looking for code completion / code hinting.

There are several guides that explain how, as you found out. Search is your friend, which is also where you'll find their reasoning.
