PHP class autocomplete [message #1233010]

try to explain what my problem is. I have a library class which loads for me other classes and stores it in a public variable.

This is an example

/**
* Database class object
* @var $DB nCore_database
*/
public $DB;

/**
* Homepage class object
* @var $HP nCore_homepage
*/
public $HP;

/**
* Load nCore classes
* @access private
*/
private function loadCoreClass($nCoreClasses) {
    if(is_array($nCoreClasses) AND count($nCoreClasses) > 0) {
        foreach ($nCoreClasses AS $key => $value) {
            $key = strtolower($key);
            $value = strtolower($value);

            if(!class_exists("nCore_" . $value) AND file_exists(main_classes . "ncore/{$value}.php")) {
                include_once(main_classes . "ncore/{$value}.php");
                eval( "\$this->" . strtoupper($key) . " = new nCore_{$value}(\$this);" );
            }
        }
    }
}

In $nCore->DB is now my database stored with functions like: query(), getRowCount() etc.

When I type $nCore->DB-> there is no autocomplete. Is it possible to enable this in eclipse, so that when I type $nCore->DB-> the system will give me hints like: $ncore->DB->query(); When i load this class manually in a variable called only $db = new nCore_database(); it do what I want, but I want this library for me.

Hope you know an answer.

Also, please don't use eval(), it makes old devs nervous. Instead it is neater to do this:

$key = strtoupper($key);
$classname = 'nCore_' . $value;
$this->{$key} = new $classname($this);

Well it should make any dev nervous, because it is:

dangerous piece of code opening potential security holes
evidence of bad design, which reduces the readability of the code

There are some scenarious where this might be necessary. But your code, Tobias, is not one of them.

Braces around $key are unnecessary. You could use them to call strtoupper inside, but
this might look ugly:

$this->{strtoupper($key)} = new $classname($this);
