Variables, functions, etc on a dropbox

[Narven]

Hi,

One stuff i think helps alot is the dropbox while coding... but i think that there is something important missing.

Why can't variable names, functions names, etc, (that we've named before) appear in that dropbox??? Maybe with a diferrent background-color in that dropbox.

I think that this helps alot and helps the coders to use the same name, (uppercase, lowercase) letters. This is one of the main problems/errors while debuging code.

an addon for this feature it could read variables names, functions names, etc, from other documents (even if not opened) but that belongs to the same project.

I concur completely. It would be extremely handy to get a grip on your code, this way.


It is much appreciated in IDE's like Visual Studio and the Borland Tools.

a editor that does this very good is the php Zend Editor

maybe you should try "Ctrl + Space" - every good IDE has this shortcut for the autocomplete-dropbox

e.g. you can type $ and then press the shortcut - every variable should be listed there


BUT I have another feature request!

Is it possible to handle server variables in this dopbox?! I mean, for example, if you have some $_POST['varname'] variables. In the dropbox, there is always only $_POST available (without brackets).

The same thing on mysql queries ... e.g. $row['varname']

Would be nice, if the complete variable (if it its known) is available in the dropbox in a next version of RapidPHP

Thx, Evil

Yes, I wrote about this to suggestions. Now I'll post it also here, so it stay's as a feature request

User writen function autocomplete (with function parameter hint) would be great feature. Many big web development tools have this user function cache.
