PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic

Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2006 11:12 am

Whenever I create a class and use a keyword such as "private", "public" or "protected" in front of a variable the IDE indicates that I have made asyntax error by placing a red squiggly line under the keyword. However, the code runs without problems. It's very irritating.

Example

Code:

class Example
{
//class variables
protected $var1=2; // the keyword "protected" shows up in the IDE with a squiggly red line underneath.
private $var2=8;

//function to gather two numbers
function multiply_numbers()
{
$number3 = $this->var1 * $this->var2;
return($number3);
}

//function to add numbers together
function add_numbers()
{
echo $this->var1 + $this->var2;
}
}

There is nothing wrong with IDE. According to PHP v4 syntax, "protected", "private" and "public" are not supported and IDE tells you so.
If you are developing php5, you have to use appropriate file extension listed in the list for PHP5 (see Tools->Settings->File Associations)
BTW, during installation you were asked if you want php4 or php5 or both installed and which one to be associated with .php extension if both are selected Smile
