I am using Eclipse PDT to code with PHP Code Igniter. I would like to get auto complete working. Anyone know how I can accomplish this? I've found a few online tutorials but had no success.

You could try this method

  1. Choose “Project” -> “Properties” or “Window” -> “Preferences” -> “PHP” (for global usage)
  2. Choose “PHP Include Path”
  3. Click on “Add External Source Folder” and point to file below
  4. restart eclipse

Point path to this file below

ciautocomplete.php

<?php

  • Superb answer. One thing to add, In similar ways we can add our model classes to the auto complete from controllers. – Jeyasithar Oct 30 '13 at 13:57
  • Absolutely no idea how it works, but it worked for me. Also trying to add Ion_auth library but never succeeded. – David Okwii Jun 16 '17 at 17:16

    To anyone seeing this answer now, it still works, but some changes need to be done as codeigniter changed. – Spoody Dec 31 '17 at 16:14

Autocomplete of your own model in your controllers:

$this->load->model('my_model');

$this->my_model = new My_model();

....

typing: $this->my_model->

Eclipse autocomplete with the model's attributes and methods
