I'm wondering about some situations involving code completion and objects being passed to functions. Basically objects passed to functions are not recognized inside teh functions.

In the following code where a db object is instantiated outside of a function, and then passed to the function, code completion will NOT work within the function.



In the above example if you try to use code completion it says

"Code completion is not available due to the following error(s):
Failed to identify type of "$db" local variable"

However, if you globalize $db inside the test_object function, then code completion works perfectly.

I beleive your question might be answered in this FAQ:

Please take a look and see if it is what you are asking about. Thanks!

Thank you yfaktor.

The FAQ helps alot and solved my initial question. But I wonder about something else.

It seems to me like objects instantiated as stdClass() do not work with Code Insight at all.

eg:



Even if we use the tips provided in the FAQ and declare the class as stdClass

The reason that code completion
doesn't work for stdClassclass that stdClass is built-in PHP class and not
available/declared anywhere. As you may have guessed code completion works
by parsing the PHP files specified in the include path of your Project
(includes tab in Project properties).
We also support PHP built in functions of course for completion, there is a
tab called functions, which is based on the latest PHP.
