[Eclipse PHP IDE 3.5] "No completions available" on var_

Question

hi all,

i have againg a problem with completition. now i can't get any suggestion. Sure i can type var_dump, but it is more comfortable with autocompletion.

I'm using Eclipse PHP Ide 3.5 with PDT 2.1.

Answer 1

Not sure it'll do, but maybe you can try adding the "PHP library" by hand :

• right click on your project
• properties
• PHP Include Path
• tab Libraries
• add external source folder
• navigate through your directories, to something like "eclipse/dropins/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.php.core_2.0..../Resources/language/php5"
• add this directory

Does it help ?

(BTW, with this solution, you can get auto-completion / suggestions for PEAR libraries, for instance ; just add whatever library you're using to the PHP Include Path)

Else... Hu... Are you using a recent version of the JAVA VM ?

Answer 2

Indeed, same problem this side, got it working by not choosing "enable Project Specific settings".

Answer 3

Thanks Pascal MARTIN

i had the same Prob with Eclipse Ganymede 3.4.2. Adding the PHP library by hand worked fine!

Answer 4

Adding PHP library by hand fixed the problem. Bad thing is that I need to do this for all projects. Is there a way to fix this in one shot for entire workspace?

Answer 5

Answer 6

I solved it....the problem is, that i import a project from subversion and its not e pure PHP Project. On PHP-Project is working fine. Yesterday i've imported the project first as PHP and not from Subversion ;)
