PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - Bug? Code completion: failed to identify type of variable

Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 4:47 pm

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but I noticed an unexpected behavior with the code completion feature
and Zend Framework (v. 1.9.5).

Sample code:

Code:

class Test_SomeController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

public function testAction() {

....some code......

}

}

1) When I type "$this->" I get what I expect, all methods from Zend_Controller_Action.

2) When I assign "$this" to "$othername" ($othername = $this) and type "$othername->", I get an unexpected code completion error.

3) When I assign "$this->render()" (or some other method from Zend_Controller_Action) to "$othername"
and type "$othername->", I get all methods from Zend_Controller_Action ( the same as in 1) ).

Current PhpEd Version is 5.9 (Build 5921).

Could you please clarify why you need a copy of the object reference? Isn't $this enough?
