PHP Code Completion for Dreamweaver

Hi there, does anybody know if there is an extension or solution out there that allows Dreamweaver CS3 (Or Earlier, as they might work on CS3 too) to do code-hinting/completion when typing things? Basically the way it does for CSS when you’re in a CSS file for example…

I use Dreamweaver (CS3) and it provides syntax-highlighting and code hints for PHP.
There is a configuration option (that I believe sets PHP by default) to select the ‘languages’ you wish to use. Check the documentation (I do not have DW loaded on this machine; can’t look for you).

ParkinT, thanks for that, I’ve learned that uses Ctrl+Space when you are in a code block to bring them up.

Finally, one last question, is there a way that I can call user-created variables and functions/classes, simmilar to what Zend Studio does? For example if I created $myvar and I needed to use it, as I would start typing it would come up in the auto-complete frame. Keeping in mind that Zend is made specifically for PHP, whereas Dreamweaver is a swiss-army knife of sorts which might not carry such in-depth functionality, there’s no harm in asking, right? :),

Oh wow, I used DW CS3 for the syntax-highlighting, but I didn’t know about the function lookup when hitting Ctrl+Space. Awesome! Thanks. :slight_smile:

There is a list of declared functions in the context menu in code view as well.

You might check the Dreamweaver Exchange but I don’t think that DW can do that with user defined classes and functions the way Zend and PHPed do. DW has a pretty extensive API for extending it, but I think that is probably beyond it’s capabilities.
