Sorry Guys, I Am from Germany and perhaps my English is not so good!

Again for PHP, Perl, ASP a context sensitive help! I don't know, wheather it is right or not in english, but i will try to explain:

When a PHPler wrote
mysql_c
then there appears a little window(something like a drop down menu) where you can select the funtion, in this example for example, mysql_connect(); or mysql_close();

I think it is called Code Cempletition or something like that.

for example, when you wrote:
mysql_connect(
then there appears a tool-tip, which shows the allowed parameters for the function mysql_connect.


So Thats it. i hope everything can clearly be understand

That would be a very useful feature, it is certainly useful in my current php editor, maguma php studio light. To go with it I'd suggest bundling the php and mysql reference manuals with the program, as they are very useful.

Yes thats a good Idea too!


@Dynasty
try PHPEdit! Maguma is not so good as PHPEdit! I have test both! and i can say PHPEdit is 2-3 times better than Maguma!
