How to supress a warning in PHP files for Netbeans?

Question

I have a PHP file with a line that produces a warning in the NetBeans. How can I force the IDE to ignore that concrete warning? Notice that I don\'t want to disable

Answer 1

While you can't just disable one warning (look for bug reports like http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97224), there is a common solution for this problem(if you have "Ignore assigments in sub-statements" turned ON):

if(($x=$y)) {}

TLDR: Double brackets = Ignore this type of warning.

Answer 2

You can control the hints/warnings that NetBeans provides through Tools > Options > Editor > Hints. You can turn off this specific hint by choosing Language: PHP and unselecting the "Possible accidental assignment, assignments in conditions should be avoided" checkbox.

You should however heed the advise of the other answers and reconsider this style.

Answer 3

Maybe there is a way to suppress that warning in Netbeans, I don't know.

However, you could also just heed the warning and change your code - it won't do it any harm. The issue Netbeans complains about isn't anything terrible, but it is good style to separate query and condition like so:

$query = db_query("SELECT column FROM {table} WHERE type='some_value'");

if ($query) 
 { ... }
else 
 { // die and report error }
