how to get zend studio autocomplete with codeigniter
autocomplete, codeigniter, php, zend-studio
Solution
Add CI's library path as an include path to your project.
- In the PHP Explorer, open your project and right-click on Include Paths
- Select Configure from the context menu
- Then in the include path dialog, select the Library tab
- Click Add External Folder...
- Browse to a local copy of CI and choose it's library directory (wherever it keeps those class files)
- Click Done
Voila, there you go!
I should note that you can also define include paths at the time of project creation.
Problem
I'm looking for a good way to get autocomplete and click-for-reference (whatever that's called) for libraries in codeigniter working in Zend Studio for Eclipse. for instance, if i do $this->load->library('dx_auth'); $this->dx_auth->get_user_id(); zend studio doesn't know what it is.. There is this sortof hacky way to do it (see below, source), but i feel like there should be a better way of doing it.. Anyone have any ideas? ``` // All of these are added so I get real auto complete // I don't have to worry about it causing any problems with deployment // as this file never gets called as I'm in PHP5 mode // Core CI libraries $config = new CI_Config(); $db = new CI_DB_active_record(); $email = new CI_Email(); $form_validation = new CI_Form_validation(); $input = new CI_Input(); $load = new CI_Loader(); $router = new CI_Router(); $session = new CI_Session(); $table = new CI_Table(); $unit = new CI_Unit_test(); $uri = new CI_URI(); ```
