Autocomplete PHP

I have been using Golive until now. We have the CS3 that
includes Dreamweaver. One thing I need help with is how to get DW
to auto-complete or auto-suggest PHP code like GL does.

Ahh - thanks!

Autocomplete Declared PHP Variables in Dreamweaver

Is there a way to autocomplete php variables that have been
declared? For instance, whenever you type $ in a PHP code block, a
pop up list would automatically come up with all the variables you
have already declared. This would GREATLY speed up coding and help
to insure coding accuracy.
If there is a way to do this now, could someone please clue
me in? I've searched and searched forums, help files, and google.
If this is not available, where should I go to request this
feature?

If you want Dreamweaver to add features posting this sort of
comment in
a user-to-user forum won't have the slightest impact on the
direction
that Dreamweaver actually takes. You need to make your views
known by
submitting feature requests through the official channel:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Submitting requests doesn't guarantee that your ideas will be
adopted in
the next version or even the one after that, but it does get
them on the
development team's radar.

Object methods autocomplete in PHP

Hi all!
DW is a great and powerful instrument for web dev. But i faced a problem: is it possible in DW to autocomplete MY class methods and MY variables that a on my page (i meen php)? Almost all other (and free) php editors are void of this bug

Dreamweaver doesn't support autocompletion of custom methods. In fact, it doesn't support PHP core objects, either. But it's not a bug. That's just the way the program was designed.
If you would like those features added to a future version of Dreamweaver, submit a feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Php function list autocomplete in CS6

Hi all, i have a problem in CS6 when i push Ctrl + Space the Php function list is not showing in code hint panel.
For example usually when y write, "mysql_f" and then press Ctrl + Space, mysql_fecth_array and mysql_fetch_row, was show in code hint panel.
Now in CS6 this not work, or i don't know how do it.
¿How i can fix this?
P.d: I read that disable JQuery hints in preference options make that "$_" global var show; but function list no.
Thanks in advance.

Moved to the Developing server-side applications with Dreamweaver forum.
I have just tested Ctr+Space in Dreamweaver CS6 in both Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.8. It works without problem on both systems.
Make sure you're using a PHP page, and that you're in a PHP code block. Also, code hints stop working if you have a syntax error earlier in your code.
Sometimes, if you experience strange behaviour with Dreamweaver, it helps to delete the cache file or even the whole of your configuration folder. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811 for details.

What can I do if all HTML links refresh site instead of redirecting properly (FF only, HTML 1.0 Strict valid, no plugins) just after using autocompleted url?

I was testing a XHTML 1.0 Strict valid website on my localhost. It had URL "http://localhost/visaita/tictactoe/Web/index.php?item_id=8&game_password=73|55fc84c0c432ad625a901caaa13108aa&chat_code=74|50b3b60c8be203.98819772#.ULO2EnC23XQ". If I click in URL field between 8 and ?. Then pres shift + end and delete the rest of URL, I get a drop down of suggestions. Then I press arrow left in my keyboard - suggestions dissappear. I press enter and my URL is immediately reset to initial one (with all arguments) even though I wanted to delete them. Server receives all the arguments, so this is not the case of a back-end redirection (tested).
The most interesting effect is that after such refresh ALL HTML LINKS stop working. They refresh page instead of redirecting. Even if I click on a link redirecting to another domain, page still gets refreshed and not redirected. I see it as an obvious and serious bug which happens in very special conditions.
All FF plugins and add-ons disabled. Tested in safe mode as well. One interesting fact is that this page is opened by a redirect from another page (JavaScript performs redirect), but the page where error happens does not contain any JavaScript redirection code. Error console is also empty.
During these redirects FireBug (when enabled) displays interesting stuff. It shows that request without arguments is pending infinitely while immediately after it another request is launched with all unwanted arguments.
Another interesting fact is that page is using late polling AJAX technique (not sure whether it has any impact).
It seems that it is some caching bug.

Autocompleted URL does not seem to be related in order to provoke the bug. If I press Esc and then immediately press on links, they all work fine. Without pressing Esc, if long polling is in action, all links redirect the same page. Long polling request happens for no longer that 2 minutes and then there is a 1 second JS delay before the next one. If links are pressed between calls, they work fine.
The strange thing though is that my friend has prepared a simple script which is generating a long polling request and has a link to Google. This test works, so I am trying to understand whether there is any additional factor which is causing the problem. Perhaps it can be due to having redirects and 2 simultaneous long polling requests at the same time. Doing my best to understand the problem. Not sure what is happening although I am quite sure that problem is caused by the FF browser somehow. Tested everything back and forth.

How to implement autocomplete in a search form?

Hi all,

When we use this Z view in the Z component, autocomplete wotks fine but when we use it in the standard component, F4 popup help works but autocomplete (smart value help) doesn't work.
We would appreciate any help on this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Where is Flash builder 4.6 for php ?

Hello,
I found flash builder 4.5 for php and flash builder 4.6, where is flash builder 4.6 for php ?

Is it really that difficult to add Flash Builder 4.6 as a plugin to Zend Studio? I did that for a long time prior to Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP, which is essentially the same thing. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist. =/
On that note, if you own Flash Builder 4.6 and don't feel like shelling out the extra money for Zend Studio or waiting for Flash Builder 4.6 for PHP, then it's really as simple as adding Flash Builder as a plugin to Ecliplse for PHP using PDT. Also, doesn't take a rocket scientist. Personally, I don't see the big deal myself. I don't even bother with using Zend Studio anymore and prefer to use Komodo Edit since it's autocomplete features are awesome and it's very quick at auto complete by simply adding a folder for your favorite PHP apps from different frameworks to different content management systems. Furthermore, there is still support in Flash Builder 4.6 to connect to a PHP data service if you really just want to create some automated code. Ultimately though, I don't understand why anyone would use amf.ini or the default options in production.
Rather than pointing to the default endpoint, if you're using a framework in the first place, it makes a lot more sense to setup a service controller and have the endpoint point to that such as index.php/services/amf (or if you're like me and prefer cleaner url's modify .htaccess to remove index.php). The bottom line is there really was nothing great about Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP. Alot of things were broken for one and it was far easier to use the datawizard which still exists for testing purposes.
After that, you should be focusing on deploying the applicaiton for production, and adjusting the settings in the Zend Framework to create a new project the correct way, dumping your HTML file to a view along with the swf file, and it may be a good idea to point the HTML file to swfobject on the Google Ajax Libraries page. Everything else is a cakewalk.
In other news, if you'd like a ligher footprint than using the entire Zend Framework, why not use something like CodeIgniter and create the necesssary hooks to use Zend AMF?

The location bar autocomplete doesn't work for certain letters.

This is a really specific problem, the dropdown autocomplete for the location/awesome bar does not work if what I'm typing starts with the letter 'k'.

Autocomplete doesn't work for packages that were just installed

After installing a program with pacman, I wasn't able to use autocomplete in bash or zsh for that program, even though I was able to run it. If I made a new terminal autocomplete worked fine, it was only in the terminal I had just used to install the application where the autocomplete didn't work. I found out after a while that I can manually run `hash -r` after installing a package to get this to work. Is there any way I could do this automatically after installing a package, or is there another way I could get autocomplete to work right after installing a package?

How to make this work in php

Hello,
I am fairly new to php and am having problems working out the
best way to go about doing what i want to do.
I want users of my system to be able to choose from a
selection of images which they have earlier uploaded. I am using a
system where the picture show is the one with the number 1 in the
`use` colum of a mysql database, only i dont know how to make it so
a user can change that number.
Any help will be greatly appreicated weather that is how to
get the above to work , or ideas of a different system i could use
to have the same effect,
thank you,
James

From the problem you're describing, I would set it up like
this:
Db1_Table 1 (tbl_Images)
Columns
1) id
2) image_location
Db1_Table 2 (tbl_UserPrefs)
1) id
2) user_name
etc...
x) image_location
So, in your user preferences, use a dynamic drop down. The
values will come from Db1_Table 1.
When the user submits the changes to his preferences, the
value from the dynamic drop down will go into Db1_Table 2.
You'll need to have 2 Recordsets for this to work, of course.
edit: you can also have something else besides a drop down,
ex: autocomplete text field or option buttons.

Artist does not exist in library, but appears in Autocomplete--how to fix?

I had an artist name appearing in all caps in my library. I went through and found every instance of her name in the library, and carefully pasted the proper capitalization. Her name in caps no longer exits in my library at all--yet when I try to fill in a new song with her name as artist, it ALWAYS shows up in all caps, and won't let me revert.
I've tried the advice followed in these threads:

https://discussions.apple.com/message/15688183#15688183
https://discussions.apple.com/message/5952472#5952472
The general consensus for how to deal with this is:
A) Enter gibberish character at the beginning so you don't trigger the autofill, then delete when done, OR
B) Copy the correctly spelled/capitalized version and paste it in.
Both of those work, but they are VERY tedious and time consuming.
They essentially defeat the purpose of autocomplete.
I have double and triple checked. The artist name in all caps IS NOT anywhere in my library, but it STILL appears as the first autocomplete suggestion, and it won't let me edit the letters properly to be lowercase.
Is this come kind of Cache?
iTunes Library corruption?

As per my understanding...

Bash: How can I get Ubuntu-style autocompletion?

A little background. When I used Ubuntu (up until maybe a week ago), almost all the commands had special autocompletion "rules" as I guess you might call them. For instance, I could type "sudo apt-get install libsdl", hit tab twice, and get a list of all the available packages related to libsdl.
How can I configure this in Arch?

Hi, check this link out: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bas … Completion
Relevant part of .bashrc:
# enable auto completion on sudo commands
complete -cf sudo
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
