How I can find and show all files in Phpstorm where this method
$this->other_model->any_method()
is called?
cmd+shift+f for Mac and ctrl+shift+f for Windows will find any piece of text throughout the project or directory. Or you could use alt+f7 to find usages.
PHPStorm Keyboard Mapping.
Viewing Structure of a Source File.
You can search for symbol with combination Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N. This combination allows you to search not only PHP classes/methods but also PHP variables, CSS classes etc.
If you want to find method usages in files:
click on your method and press Alt+F7
If you want to search any composition of your desire search, you can use from searching everywhere. I prefer to use this because PhpStorm makes it possible to look for any item of the source code, databases, actions, elements of the user interface, etc. in a single action.
to use that, only press search button in the right upper corner of phpStorm or 2 times press shift key on your keyboard. Now you can find your search everywhere. This is great functionality of phpStorm.
To read more information about using this search method, go to the following link:

Is there a window in Dreamweaver that shows all variables and functions defined in the current document?
When you right click on the current document, you will see Functions context menu which contains the methods used.
Another trick is to edit the toolbars xml file and uncomment the code nav button.
This gives you a toolbar button you can click to list the methods, rather than right clicking and selecting functions from the context menu.
Still not as good as a permanently visible pane, but one less click than the right click > functions context menu.
Open this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Toolbars\toolbars.xml
Uncomment this block:
<menubutton id="DW_CodeNav"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/codenav.png"
MMString:tooltip="DW_CodeNav/menubutton/tooltip"
enabled="dw.getFocus() == 'textView' || dw.getFocus() == 'html'"
menuID="DWCodeNavPopup"
update="onViewChange"/>
Restart Dreamweaver for the changes to be applied.
Code Nav icon "{}" appears at the end of the Document toolbar. The toolbar with (code|split|design).
No, Dreamweaver, at least through CS5, does not have a window that lists variables and functions in the document. The CS5 code hinting engine is pretty good, so it should at least allow you to quickly type your code, but if you need a list outside of the document itself, there is no such thing.
There used to be an extension that would list functions defined in the page in a floating panel, Interakt's MX Code Pack, but it is no longer available as Interakt was acquired by Adobe, and their products subsequently "retired":
MX Coder Pack
This is an old topic but I thought I would update it since I submitted a feature request to Adobe to implement an "outline view" which would address OP's original question. The feature would list functions inside of a page similar to how other IDE tools like Eclipse do it. Dreamweaver currently does this for JavaScript functions only but this feature request would enable it for other types of pages as well (cfml, php, asp) and also let you see the DOM outline for any page.
Feel free to submit your request to Adobe here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en
Be sure to reference enhancement request #3812052. If enough people ask for this feature, perhaps Adobe will listen.
I have no sulution for the variables, but for functions I use a little trick:
I do a search (ctrl+f) for the string "function " and the press "find all" this'll show the result window with all lines with "function "in it. Double clicking a line in the result window will take your to the appropriate function.
You can make something with regular expression where you search for function ({some chars}){ to be absolutely certain to only get function declarations.
You can then save this query and load it as needed.
Indeed code hinting is the only way I've been able to view a functions list in CS5. The HOTKEY for code hinting is ctrl+spacebar.
Is there any way to add custom phpdoc annotation for Eclipse PDT?
For example, I want to see #depends (for PHPUnit) in autocomplete list for comments, but now I can see there only standard annotations (for example, #deprecated) .
Thanks in advance.
I assumed there would be a configuration file somewhere, but looking through the various folders in my Zend Studio installation didnt give me the results I was hoping for. Searching Eclipse.org for Content Assist yielded
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/editors_contentassist.htm
So I guess the "real" way to add a new Content Assist Context would be to extend Eclipse.
Alternative: Using Templates
The other way to get the annotations would be to add them via Templates. Follow these steps:
Go to Window > Preferences > PHP > Editor > Templates.
Click New, fill in the dialogue and confirm everything to get back to your editor
The template is now setup to appear when in the context of a PHP Comment. Go to a UnitTest DocBlock and type #. If Content Assist does not open automatically, hit Ctrl+Space. There should be an option to select #depends now.
Confirm as you would confirm any other suggestion. This should write #depends and put your cursor right next to it (so you can insert the name of the test).
I have the following ide's for php
Dreamweaver
php-Eclipse
Textpad
I wish to jump to a function's definition which is located in another file which is not yet open. How could I do that. I am studying a websites code and have the entire directory structure in my local root folder. I come across certain functions and I don't know in which file their definition is. Please suggest something.
In eclipse PDT IDE put mouse over class name, property, method or function name (must be in opened eclipse project) and press CTRL + clic.
It work with almost all declarations, even constants and class constants. In most case it will work, but it can have trouble with some dynamic property assignement like magic methods or certain injected dependency.
The file will be opened, and if target is in same file code view will scroll to the declaration
Press F3 in eclipse and you will find the declaration.
To jump to function definition for Dreamweaver just add this extension:
http://code.google.com/p/dwoop/.
Also you can add Autocomplete feature to Dreamweaver by going to Site --> Site Specific code hints --> select a folder which you want to scan for autocomplete --> save it with any custom name you want.
This works with any type of project (wordpress, codeigniter...)
I wish to jump to a function's
definition which is located in another
file which is not yet open.
I can suggest you about dreamweaver, the one i use. Point the cursor at the file that is included via php's include, require, etc or within link's href and src attribute and press Cntr+D and that file should open.
For functions, just right click anywhere on the document, in the context menu you should see the Functions link about all functions defined in the document.
phpDesigner can do that
In an opposite direction, and perhaps out of question's field, but if your code if OOP and you want to study it you can try automated tools to get UML view of its architecture , but these softwares are generally not free.
I found a way of going to the function definition. Using help in dreamweaver and selecting the option of searching wihtin a folder type 'function function_name()' and unselect all the checkboxes below.
if you press find it will start opening pages which containg the expression or find all will not open any pages but show the list of all the pages in the bottom panel.
Well, I'm currently working with Dreamweaver CC. If you want to jump to Function Definition from code, just select the desired function and then right click -> then select "Find Selection" option or you can use "Shift+F3", and you will be redirected to the code where the function is defined. enter image description here
I've recently gotten quite fond of netbeans for my php work because of the XDebug integration. It has made me all but forget about textmate (which imho still beats netbeans for the little things)
What do you think is the one awesome netbeans feature I should know about, and more importantly why and how do I use it?
I'm asking this to optimize my skills in the use of the IDE and based on the idea that what works well for others might just work for me (and hopefully others).
I've found another great snip of genius i wanted to share:
you can do custom code folding (not really related to php, just netbeans)
just put this into a code file:
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="getters and setters">
some boring code you don't need to see every time here
// </editor-fold>
That'll behave similar to #regions in visual studio or pragma marks in xcode. but unlike regions, it doesn't screw up the working of your code, it's really just a comment!
The Subversion Integration directly on the IDE and the Local History are of my must-use, favorite features.
I find the single most useful feature in Netbeans for PHP work is that it understands PHPDoc (in the same way that it understands Javadoc), and uses it for type hinting.
Type /** before a function definition, hit return and it'll create a PHPDoc template.
/** <-- I typed this one line
* #param <type> $otherObj <-- Netbeans added these 3 lines
* #return <type> <--
*/ <--
public function exampleFunction($otherObj)
{
$myObj = new MyClass($otherObj);
return $myObj;
}
Replace the <type> placemarkers with the appropriate types:
/**
* #param OtherClass $otherObj
* #return MyClass
*/
public function exampleFunction($otherObj)
{
$myObj = new MyClass($otherObj);
return $myObj;
}
And voila, you'll get type completion (and pop-up documentation) with Ctrl-space.
Awesome Vi bindings via the jVi plugin.
if ($x instanceof SomeClass) {
$x->.... // now it has code completion with SomeClass' methods.
}
Macros, and Code Templates with advanced input !
Parametrized code templates (try typing fnc in netbeans and then imediately press Tab, and then keep pressing Tab to see what happens, how it cycles through the function name and the function parameters - look inside the code template to see how this is done).
(Options > Editor > Code Templates )
Some easy examples (some I made, some come with netbeans):
[forek] expands to: [foreach ($array as $key => $value) { }] (This one comes with netbeans, the rest I made)
[arr] + Tab expands to: [array();]
[kv] +Tab expands to: ['key' => "val", ] (key and val are parameters that I canc cycle through and edit with tab. The code template looks like this: ['${key}' => "${val}", ] where [${something}] is a template parameter, it prints [something]. if you want it tio print [$something] I think you have to use three ]$] characters: [$$${key}])
EDIT: You can make a code template for the arrow with a single letter (like 'm' for ex) , but when you type in code you have to put a space before the letter, else it wont recognize it. Ex: $obj m[press Tab], expands to [$obj ->]. The space inbetween works ok and is not a sintax error.
/EDIT
Every time I wish there was a template for something, I actually insert the template and then use it imediately and continue with the rest of the php programming.
Macros with shortcuts as mini code templates ! (Netbeans >Menu > Edit >Start / Stop Macro Recording)
Best Macros I made for php are actually Code Templates (because ' + Tab doesnt work as code template for some reason, only if the template begins with a letter it works) ([shortcut] inserts [text]):
shortcut [Ctrl + ;] inserts [->] (no more
keybooard gymnastics, no more dot
sintax envy on other languages :))
shortcut [Ctrl + Shift + ;] inserts [ => ]
This link has a lot of keyboard shortcuts that comes in handy. I have a copy of it printed out and pinned to the wall next to my computer. Sadly, I don't see any special PHP shortcuts though.

I would add Tasks integration. Don't have time to finalize something? Add a simple task which NetBeans will track for you. You can customize what gets tracked in Tasks in Options -> Miscellaneous -> Tasks, but I found the format below to be most useful, as it aligns well with PHPDoc comments (see therefromhere's comment):
/**
* #todo Create public setters and __toString() for this class.
*/
Ctrl + Space is my favorite and most used feature when programming in java, I think it is enabled for PHP as well. But if you like net beans you most likely know about it already, if not try it out discover what it does.
Also navigating to the relevant source code by Ctrl + Clicking on anything from variables, to method calls, to class references is a nice feature.
Additionally, the popup menus that are displayed when right clicking in source code contain many useful tools for everything from refactoring to code generation.
This is going to sound ridiculously trivial, but one thing I do in Netbeans is code formatting. Its code formatting (source->format) rocks.
Its SVN integration is great too, but that's already been said.
The ability to create quick on the fly macros.
For example , here is one that will put a semi-colon at the end of the current line and places your cursor back where it was before the macro started.
";" delete-previous caret-end-line ";" jump-list-last-edit jump-list-last-edit
(I know this is present in other language implementations by default. But it does not work by default in PHP Netbeans.)
As someone who tends to stick with IDE for a long time, I love being able to customize little things to make me more efficient.
If you consider Netbeans 6.7 it has a sync feature a bit like Dreamweaver
In the way that you can add a custom ftp, import it to the project and when you save the files locally they are also uploaded to the server so you have a semi backup system in place.
(trust me it's better than working directly onto a ftp tree and realizing that the transfer failed somehow between the current tmp file and the server file and you lost your work because you closed the file window :) )
NetBeans also allows you to completely undock individual windows.
How to:
Right-click on toolbar of the window which you want to move and select Undock window. The selected window becomes a floating one, which allows you to move it outside of the main NetBeans window.
Highlights:
you can pin floating windows to screen borders or to different floating windows (just the ones from NetBeans though)
floating windows can make themselves semitransparent if you move away from them (configurable via main settings in Miscellaneous/Appearance)
if you move a different application over any floating windows, they come back on top after you start using NetBeans again
your workspace layout is remembered, so all floating windows keep their respective positions between individual coding sessions (NetBeans restarts)
This is useful especially if you have a second monitor, as it allows you to maximize the space available for source code by moving any supplementary windows (the file browser, unit test results, etc) away from the main screen. The nice thing is that NetBeans works around most annoyances which are usually present in multi-window applications (e.g. different applications covering individual toolbars in GIMP).
Note: perhaps this is commonly known feature, but I managed to discover it just today. It wasn't on the list yet, so I added it even though I already answered with a different feature some time ago.
Squiglies under unused private class members.
maybe the search box, to find anything in the source code`?
Some features definitely worth looking out for, including the ones mentioned above:
Version control Integration, including Local History
IDE wide search box
Integration with Tomcat/Apache, GlassFish can be helpful when you are looking to work with PHP and other server side technologies, like JSP
Very good integration with MySQL- essential to wAMP/LAMP development
TextMate is a great slick little editor I use all the time on my Mac, but not an IDE. I haven't enjoyed Netbeans on Mac very much being so non-native, but on Windows or Linux I prefer it over Eclipse.
The Swing GUI designer with Java has been huge in getting projects done rapidly.
Other people have said it, but integrated Subversion is awesome. If I've been working with a project from the terminal in Linux it figures out I've got SVN checked out on that directory and handles it fine.
I love the code formatting (right click in the editor), especially when team members write poorly spaced/indented code with nano, xemacs, or something like that.
its amazing that no one has talked about this cool plugin.
http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/
I have found it very useful for html. PHP developers do need it. It adds a lot of templates like this.
download zen-coding for netbeans and import zip file in tools>options>code templates>import.
I like this the most: phpunit + code coverage
I've personally used Eclipse a couple of years ago for Java development, and ever since i knew Netbeans at version 3.5, it has gotten really good with the integration of server technologies as TomCat for J2EE application deployment, subversion, uml and plenty of plug-ins for different tecnologies, not just java now.
Database integration (MySQL, Jdb, SQL editor).
Continuous progress in PHP integration and features.
Subversion integration...it does help A LOT!
Code indent, custom color highlighting.
If you are a PHP developer, Ruby on Rails integration can be of help too, if you want to expand your expertise on web apps.
Netbeans has always been known for delivering support for experimental (not-yet-released) technologies, such as Java 6 EE preview, JDK7 support, ...
And, subversion support out-of-the box. It's a great difference to Eclipse, where you have to use plug-ins. With Eclipse I had only problems under Linux (JavaHL problems, blabla...). I don't remember who said it, or where it is written, but "out-of-the-box support is much more relevant to a user than the ability to use some plug-ins".
