Hi.

As asked by Roy this thread should collect requirements for a useful
support of PHP namespaces in PDT (and Zend Studio).

So here goes my wishlist:

1. Make the syntax checker aware of the new keyword.
Currently I appear to have more than 11500 errors, but the code
works...
2. Make auto completion work again. If I declare some variable to be of
type Some::Thing::Here it's members should be offered by auto-
completion.
3. Hint on using :: to explicitly specify the global namespace for
internal classes (either checking a list of PHP's internal classes or
checking against all classes defined in the current namespace.
4. If more than one namespace is used in a file, make it visible in the
outline. Maybe even if it's just one namespace.


Regards,
Karsten

Hi again.

Now the namespaces syntax has been finalised and alpha3 of PHP 5.3.0 has
been released. First projects have switched to the new syntax. One of
those projects is our framework FLOW3.

We have tons of code, and auto-completion and error detection were very
helpful until namespaces arrived. That's the cost of using bleeding
egde, but we have been bleeding for a while now, so... we'd like to have
our tools back. At least an IDE that helps, for a start.

Could someone please tell us whether it might make sense to wait for PDT
supporting this? I heard from the Apatana people that they will fix[1]
their IDE "as soon as possible". That is a lot more promising than *not*
saying *anything*.

So, I started this list a while ago, as requested. Any news?

[1] Yes, fix. Namespaces will be a first class language feature with the
next PHP version. Not having support for that is a bug IMHO. Think about it.

We are planning to provide good namespaces support ASAP also. But I think
it's gonna happen closer to the release of PHP 5.3.

Great news. If you have *anything* worth testing, announce it.

Thanks,
Karsten
