hi, i'm trying yii framework but when i try code-completion on objects i receive the error:
Failed to identify type of $XXXX global variable

(i.e. in _form.php whe i try on $model->.... )

In my project / includes all classes and files are set.

Has anyone used phped with yii framework and solved this problem?

Hi.

I've never used yii, but I just had a quick look at it and _form.php is a template with $model being externally defined. During coding, PhpED has no way of knowing what object class $model is defined as. This is a common problem with templates.

I don't know off-hand what class $model is either as I don't have an installed project to run, but if you breakpoint this line in _form.php then you can use the debugger to find out what the class name is:



Then you can fake a variable declaration to that class name so that you can get code completion to work:



You will now hopefully get code completion on $model. I've used this trick and it does work on probably most object variables, except $this because PhpED does not allow that to be re-assigned to an arbitrary object.

Bear in mind that it is also possible that $model could be a different object class on each call, so it might not be consistent.
