[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: Code Assist not working for Informix functi

OK, it's a super FAQ.

In this case, you must be able to get code assist.

However, for example,
> function init() {
>  global $db;
>  ...
>  $db = new mysqli($host, $username, $passwd, $dbname);
>  ...
> }
> ...
> init();
> $db->
In this case, you cannot get code assist because the scope is different. 
$db in init() is typed as mysqli ($db has type of mysqli), but $db in 
main() is not typed (type is unknown).

So you have to describe the type.
> /* @var db mysqli */
> $db->

btw,
This will be improved in the next version of PDT, maybe...
