I would like VS.PHP to auto popup the intellisense box when I type the start of a function-name/variable-name. This so I wouldn't have to press CTRL+SPC.

I saw this feature in NuSphere's PHPed and it's quite cool!

Borland has that, it looks cool at start but will soon become irritating. Ik like the VS approach better. And since this is a VS.NET implementation, it should follow it's methods.

I guess both sides are valid. I personally like the VS.Net way because I'm used to that one. I probably will make this an option. Still, I'm not sure if it going to work like in other editors. The problem is that VS.Net does not filter the intellisense, the most it can do is to jump to the closest match.

Probably this will not make it into 1.0 unless I can find an easy way to implement it. I hven't given it much thought yet but I think it will require changes in lang_eng.dll to support it. If so, it will not make it into 1.0

Visual Studio 2003 Intellisence has a different behaviour for VB.NET (were autopopup is active) and C#.NET (autopopup is not active.)

I like the way autopopup intellisence works with VB.NET.

Thanks for at least taking it in consideration ?

Any updates on VS.PHP ? Maybe new features/versions ? :)

I think my VS.NET pops up parameter information for functions when I type the opening parentheses. In other words, right when I hit (in C#):

str.Replace(

I see something along the lines of:

String Needle, String Haystack, String Subject
Replace all occurrences of a given substring with another.

I think that would be a nice feature/option to add and you could put it in the Text Editor section of the VS.NET preferences.

--- Correction ---

OOOOPS... I guess I should have fooled around with this a little more before I wrote this message. It looks like it already takes care of this. I didn't see it because I was trying to get parameter info on mysql_ functions.

Is there any way to do that?

By default, VS.Php only show the core functions. You can add reference to a particular module by right clicking the reference folder and click on add reference. Then select the module you are interested in.

On the other hand, if you install the VS.Php full package, you will get the PEAR classes. In this case simply type:

require_once("DB.php");

To get the symbols of the DB class for example.

Let me know if you have more questions.
