Hi,
I'm used to IDE's like eclipse & Visual Studio...
and now for php im trying out phpEd...

I want to know how to document self made functions, variables, classes, member variables, etc?? So if I document them, then the auto complete tool will provide me a quick help...

for e.g

/**
* Cache::exists()
* Checks if the cache already exists
* @return
*/
public function exists()
{
return file_exists($this->getFullFileName());
}


the comment above the function name... how do i generate it within phpEd itself.. ??
the phpDesigner IDE supports this by right clicking and selecting "Add documentation to function"


please help.. as i really need this feature to work on my projects.

thanks

From your example code, it doesnt appear that you are using the phpdoc syntax correctly, which is why PhpEd isnt picking up your functions to include in the auto complete functionality.

http://manual.phpdoc.org/HTMLSmartyConverter/HandS/phpDocumentor/tutorial_phpDocumentor.howto.pkg.html#basics.docblock

So for you example you should probably have something like

/**
* Checks if the cache already exists
*
* A longer description of the above if needed.
*
* @access public
* @return boolean
*/

Frankly neither is PHPEd for that matter.
The problem still persists 'cos correct syntax would be:

not

Not to mention HTML blocks that are not parsed in PHPEd like <p><li><code> etc.

When one is using 3rd party class/frameworks this can get really ugly.

would you please suggest an example of such 3rd party class/framework?
