PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - Good Code Insight implementation in variable references.

Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 11:26 am

Hi to all,

first of all - your IDE rocks. The best IDE I have seen ever! Respect.

I'm not sure, in which board to put this thread, but, I have problems with such code in global context, ex.:

Code:

$object = & new someClass();

// then I'm writing a new class ex.:

class myClass {
var $objectReference;

function myClass() {
global $object;

// we assign a reference of existing object to our class, but seems that phpED messes with that up.
// while calling Code Insight like this: $object-> returns list of methods, but...
$this->objectReference = & object;

// later trying to execute Code Insight like this:
// $this->objectReference-> returns no inner methods of this object
}
}

I and (I think) a lot of developers work with objects, that inherits other global objects, but code Insight desn't work in this case, althought it should.
If that would be fixed/implemented in next version of phpED, I'd be the happy'iest person in the earth! Smile

Thank you!

you need to tell code insight what object instance is stored in objectReference. You may use phpdoc comment for this, like suggested there: http://forum.nusphere.com/tip-type-hints-t1563.html

Ah, I got the idea, but still, this is unnecessary code/comment writing. This should be auto detected still...

Thanks again!

You're right. It can be resolved and we've implemeted this in build 4635 (it's in beta testing now).
Even more, it resolves fine when $object (per your sample) is assigned in another file. See screenshots below:

(BTW, I tried the IDE you mentioned, it supports this only when object is assigned with class instance in the same file and does not support the case shown above)

Very good news from You Smile

Btw, where could I find this beta release?
Thank you!

IMHO They have a select public of beta testers and you can only get the version before official release if they ask you to test it.

(sorry for my english) If will allow, I would like to add the comment on this theme:
I read topic N1563, and it working, but... If to write:

Code:

<?php

$MyVar = null; //I don't know MyVar type now.
$MySelector = /*0*/ 1 /*2*/;

class Test
{
function abc()
{
   echo 'abc';
}
}

class Test1 extends Test
{
function def()
{
   echo 'def';
}
}

class Test2 extends Test
{
function xyz()
{
   echo 'xyz';
}
}

function InitMyVar()
{
global $MySelector;
global $MyVar;

switch ($MySelector)
{
   case 1:
   $MyVar = new Test1();
   break;
   case 2:
   $MyVar = new Test2();
   break;
   default:
   $MyVar = new Test();
}
}

function TestMyVar()
{
global $MySelector;
global $MyVar;

/**
* $MyVar will have tips as Test in this block
* @var Test
*/
$MyVar->abc(); // <--- has tips as Test2 now

if ($MySelector === 1)
{
   /**
   * $MyVar will have tips as Test1 in this block
   * @var Test1
   */
   $MyVar->def(); // <--- has not tips as Test1 now
}
elseif ($MySelector === 2)
{
   /**
   * $MyVar will have tips as Test2 in this block
   * @var Test2
   */
   $MyVar->xyz();// <--- has tips as Test2 now
}

//Then $MyVar will have tips as Test again when end if-else blocks
}

if (true)
{
InitMyVar();
TestMyVar();
}
else
exit();
?>
