Description kubr1ck 2008-07-22 02:27:49 UTC
after hardly searching the issues and google, if i repeat any1 sorry,

i can't do autocomplete of HTML DOM code inside a echo""; only the php variables appear in the popup

i made it P1 because as a enhancement i think is pretty important, i use a separated JS file but eventually is almost 
has important to have a js autocomplete there it realizes is inside <Script type=\"javascript\">.

Compliments all and superb work.

Yes i really this would be a worthwhile enhancement. I would think so even if i didn't know the guy that reported and he
didn't ask to vote.

You should not be echo-ing at the first place. It's bad practice. IMHO the IDE should not support such practice.

I agree in the case of not needing this for echoing HTML, but it would be nice for SQL strings, or JS string (used for Mongo DB).

Perhaps a comment hint could say what a string contains and format/color code it in that way?

If you're doing HTML, put it in the HTML, not in the echo (same applies for whatever you're echoing: put it outside the PHP template tags <?php and ?>).

Auto-completion occurs for SQL in case you're putting the stirng straight into a PDO request, because there, it can be known that you're doing an SQL query.

But for "echo", you can output anything, so there cannot be any autocompletion provided but the PHP itself (like variables and functions).

So to me, this bug should not be fixed, and probably won't seeing for how long it was opened. I'll still let someone else close this, to have a confirming opinion.
