PHP: Code Completion with Functions & Objects

[NathanFarrar]

I'm hoping and praying that there is some kind of extension or addon for Dreamweaver that provides code suggestion & completion in PHP for custom functions & objects. For example:

If I define a class FormGenerator and then create a FormGenerator Object $UserForm, when I type: "$User" I should get a completion box that gives me the option "Form" which will complete the objects name for me. As soon as I type: "$UserForm->" I should get a suggestion box with appropriate methods. Any programmers who have used a professional IDE will understand exactly what I am referring to.

This functionality doesn't appear to be built into dreamweaver ... does anyone know if there is an extension written that will provide the code completion & suggestion? Any idea if it's a feature Adobe will be working on in the future?

No, it's not built into DW, and I don't know of an extension that does
it, either. It's certainly a good idea, though. The way to get it on the
development radar is to submit a feature request through this form:

I doubt whether it will ever be implemented by DW since it is a
general purpose web page editor.
