how to activate code completion [message #20586] Thu, 17 May 2007 11:42 Go to next message

Hello all,
I downloaded the pdt all in one package from zend.
Now I wonder how I activate the code completion, I already looked through
almost all the preferences and I didn't found an option to enable the code
completion.

If I press ctrl + space it just shows me the complete list of php
functions, which doesn't help much.

regards, jannes

I expect pdt to show me only those functions which would fit in that
situation, and not EVERY php function.
Here's a screenshot to illustrate what I mean:

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the php file I'm editing is
not inside a project.
But it's impossible to create a new project in the eclipse workspace for
every single file I eventually want to edit.

Is there a way to active code completion for normal *.php files, which are
in the DocumentRoot of my Apache server and not inside the Eclipse
workspace??

I'd guess so. Eclipse is an IDE rather than just an editor.

If you wan't to be able edit a file here and a file there, rather than
working with projects, then you might be happier with another program.
One good option is jEdit <http://jedit.org/> - it's also a Java program,
so it runs where Eclipse runs. It can be configured to reasonable IDE
too, but it can be used as plain text editor too. I used to use jEdit a
lot, but then I found that Eclipse's project features are actually
exactly what I've been wanting.

If you don't have any projects in the Document Root, then make the
entire Document Root one project - then all files will be part of a project.

Pehaps this is a bug because of you haven't created project.
You can add entire DocumentRoot in project, may be it helps.

The next build of PDT will include support of opening files without a
project.
This will solve your problem.

Yeah, I just downloaded the newest version of PDT and it works. PDT is
exactly what I need now. You guys are great! Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Jannes
