Disable Autocomplete for variables

[classaxe]

Hi,

I work with several php files, the largest of which is 1.2MB in size and makes use of up to three levels of class inheritance. I found that it took so long to load the 'code explorer' in the 2007 version with all its member variables / properties (many of which were placed in error) that I reverted to the 2006 version which doesn't expand class member variables.

However I do find that whenever I start to type a variable $... that if I do not enter some text after the $ within a half-second I have to wait up to 15 seconds before I am allowed to continue work just so the autocomplete list can be repopulated for me (and I never use the autocomplete for my variables anyway). I'd love to know if there is a way this can be switched off.

If it would be of any help in demonstrating this issue I'd be more than happy to send you a copy of the PHP file I have been working with just so you can see what I'm up against.

Many thanks for producing an otherwise superb product - I've been a very happy customer since the 2005 release, preferring it to Zend Studio and anything else I have used.

Blessings to you and your customers,

Thank you for reporting this.
We would like to have a closer look at your file you are working with.

Please write to our support email address (support at blumentals dot com) and then we will see what can be done to either
a) improve the search speed of currently available variables
b) maybe add some kind of option for that (currently not available; you can have auto complete for PHP either on or off)

Also there will be a fix for a problem (could be the same) you reported regarding items in PHP tree. Please let us know in case after the next update you still have issues here.

Just sticking my nose in, but instead of working with a 1.2MB .php file, could you not work on smaller files, and 'build' them together using INCLUDE statements?
I've not worked with php too long, so don't know much, but have found the INCLUDE function useful for my projects.

Hi Chris, that's what I did in the end - and I found my PHP ran much better too!
