What am I doing wrong here [message #516920]

Hi all

It might just be something stupid that I am overlooking (or ignoring)

I have (for testing purposes) two php files, newfile.php and test.php

in newfile.php I have
> <?php
> class testing
> {
> function test()
> {
> return "1234";
> }
> }
> ?>

and in test.php I have
> <?php
> require_once 'newfile.php';
>
> $test = testing::
> ?>

on line 4 in test.php whenever I start typing "testing" I get a code
assist dialog which pops up and suggest the class "testing" as defined
in newfile.php. However when I press <enter> I expect it to pop up with
a code assist dialog which suggests function "test()". But it does not.

I have tried replacing "function test()" with "public function test()"
but that do not do the trick :(

This is a new PHP 5.3 project I created for the purpose of posting to
this newsgroup.

Thank you in advance
Ian

Hi Ian,

since you are calling the function test() statically, you should also
declare it static:

newfile.php:
<?php
class testing
{
public static function test()
{
return "1234";
}
}
?>

If you didn't want to call it statically, you should use something like:

test.php:
<?php
require_once 'newfile.php';

$obj = new testing();
$test = $obj->test();
?>

In this case, code completion also works after typing "$obj->".

Best regards,
Christian A. Wolf

Adding that "static" worked like a charm, thank you very much
