ADODB autocompletion problem [message #78561]

Hi.

In PDT, autocompletion for ADODB isn't working: instead of initializing
the class directly, it is done like this:

$db = ADONewConnection("(database engine)"). ADONewConnection then returns
a the appropriate class for the database engine of choice.

Now, if I try to get autocompletion information for $db in PDT, none
appears. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, you can do this:

/* @var YourDBAdapterClass */
$db = ADONewConnection("(database engine)");

Code completion should then assume that $db is of type YourDBAdapterClass.

Hello.

I'm afraid that this isn't working. I've tried the following:

/* @var ADOConnection */

No code completion shows up for the variable.

Try /* @var $db ADOConnection */ instead. This should work if PDT
"knows" the ADODB-classes.

But since ADODB doesn't seem to be an "official" part of PHP, I highly
doubt that. In this case, you could try to download the ADODB-sources,
import them into a new PDT-project and tell PDT that your own project
depends on the new one (via "Project References" and/or "Include Path
Libraries").

HTH,
Mark

Thank you for your help. I managed to get it working after copying the
ADODB sources to another project, adding it to the project's include path,
and doing /* @var $db ADOConnection */.
