Komodo Edit, No PHP autocomplete and calltips with XAMPP

I got a real problem with Komodo Edit v8.5.3: I use XAMPP XAMPP v1.8.3 [PHP: 5.5.6] to provide a local hosted server for Komodo.

[Edit -> Preferences -> Languages -> PHP] ; here I configured the PHP stuff like this:

**Default PHP Interpreter** C:\xampp\php\php.exe

**Path to alternate PHP configuration file** C:\xampp\php\php.ini

**PHP Directories** nothing

After restarting I tested this feature: But no autocomplet and calltips, syntax checking did sometimes work ... If I wrote some code, it began to scan the php directory of XAMPP for completing, but this search got freezed everytime somewhere (in the PEAR directory).

I don't really understand what's wrong with Komodo and XAMPP. (I did also reinstall Komodo.)

Komodo is great, but withoutd this the most importent feature is impossible.

Solution

  • Komodo php autocomplete didn't work for me, too.

    My situation might be different, but I'm sharing for the next Googler to visit.

    I installed Komodo before php5. Whoops. Installing php wasn't good enough, I had to also delete the config files in ~/.komodo-edit (or whatever folder it created).

    That still wasn't enough, I also had to delete the ___.komodoproject file I was working on as well.

    Then I was awed by Komodo's awesomeness.
