PHP IDE with best code completion? [closed]

Answer 1

I have found that Netbeans has better code completion than Aptana. When I was working with codeigniter, Netbeans would code complete for my static methods in models where Aptana wouldn't.

Since my posting of this, JetBrains has released PHPStorm and has your rapid fire intellisense, as well as even better type hinting. It is absolutely superior to all others IMHO. I've been using EAP 2.0 for several months now for free.

Answer 2

vim.

Also, looking at the recommended similar questions, I noticed there is already a good question discussing the different ways to use vim code completion.

Answer 3

No doubt, use NetBeans, is very usefull and have a good intelisense (okay, not is perfect) but is better than Eclipse for example.

Answer 4

I use PHPEd (http://www.nusphere.com/) which has a workable version of this feature.

note: They have an offer listed on their front page. Ignore this. It has been ending tomorrow for at least 4 years now.

Answer 6

I take it you are on Windows. In windows I usually use phpDesigner (http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php) which has pretty good CC. In linux, I use geany(http://www.geany.org/) or vim both of which have CC, in the later case, you will need to set it up. I found Eclipse to be too bloated and I got sick of waiting for it to startup. :\
