PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - Code completion request (objects in $GLOBALS)

Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:43 pm

Hey there!

This is a request for something I run across a lot... Code completion doesn't work for objects in $GLOBALS.

I often have a globally declared object with some methods. For example:

Code:

class SampleClass {
public function something() {
return true;
}
}

$aninstance = new SampleClass();

function samplefunction() {
$GLOBALS['aninstance']->something(); // <-- Code completion won't recognize $GLOBALS['instance'] as
// an instance of SampleClass and offer to complete
// something()
}

It would be awesome if PhpED could recognize object instances in arrays (or $GLOBALS at the very least) for code completion purposes.

try this:

Code:

class SampleClass {
public function something() {
return true;
}
}

$aninstance = new SampleClass();

function samplefunction() {
global $aninstance;
$aninstance->something(); // <-- Code completion will recognize $aninstance as
// an instance of SampleClass and offer to complete
// something()
}

Oh I know that works, but I hate to add the extra global declarations in when I don't have to. It makes my function libraries a lot less readable.
