The Code Hinting in PHPED is fantastic, but there is one area where it doesn't work (in fact, NO code hinter that I am aware of does) that would be really awesome.

We have a very complex application core written in PHP where our classes are dynamically instantiated and PhpED does not pick up on the instance.

CLASS SERVILLIAN


CLASS $strClassName


When you open the instance of $strVariableName, it doesn't know how to make the link to the three objects in the new $strClassName.

what does it say if you press Ctrl-Space in the place where you're expecting the "hints"? (BTW we call it code completion dropdown)

Code completion is not available due to the following error(s):
Failed to find class of "objServillian" member, (declared as "servillian")

Not sure if this would be the problem, but is the "servillian" object in the same PhpED Workspace as this file?

Yes the CLASS servillian is in the same workspace and the OBJECT $objServillian is declared in the same workspace.

if Code Explorer does not list servillian class, please check if this class is declared somewhere and this "somewhere" is php file and it's either in the project or in a directory listed in Code Insight Includes property of the project and this project is active (bolded).

if Code Explorer does list this class, please check if current file has require_once for the file containing the class or "Limit scope to included" is not checked in Tools->Settings->Code Insight.

1. Yes the Servillian Class is declared in a php file.
2. Same Project AND Active
3. YES in Code Insight
4. require_once IS used
5. Limit Scope to Included is NOT checked

It seems (after looking at the code) that the eval has nothing to do with it at this point. my class x is having class Servillian passed in and at that point won't use code completion. This was working until I put the eval code in, which the servillian class uses.
