I just installed PHPEd 5.2 on Windows Vista and I'm not getting any type of "intellisense" in the editor for built-in PHP functions like mail() or print(). What have I done wrong?

Oddly, I installed the exact same version on XP and the intellisense tooltip is immediately available. Obviously I'm either doing something wrong or there's a problem. The only notable difference during the installer was that Vista blocked some Internet access requests that I had to manually allow. That might have caused some problems?

neither main nor print are functions.
First one does not exist until you define it. It's not reserved or defined elsewhere.
print and echo are pre-defined keywords, not functions.

It sounds as if Tooltips (Tools, Settings, Code Insight, Settings) are disabled in your Vista installation. I am using XP and it works fine for me.


The tooltip for mail() works fine for me

ah, that's mail() not main() what's happened to my eyes?
sure, mail() should work fine.
