PHP function descriptions as I type in Notepad++

Question

Is there a plugin for Notepad++ which would allow me to see functions including parameters/returns as I type?

For example, if i type "implode(", I'd see:

string implode ( string $glue , array $pieces )

Update: Wow, I'm surprised so many other people were as interested in this as me. The take-home lesson for me was to always explore all the Settings options!

Answer 1

You don't need a plugin! 5.0 and above have this already.

Go to Settings -> Preferences, then go to the Backup/Auto-Completion tab, and you'll find it at the bottom! Check the box for function parameters hint as well.

You'll get exactly what you've asked for, as long as it knows the file is PHP.

Answer 2

maybe, plugin Auto completion for custom PHP classes (ACCPC) is what you're mean.

basic info:
Show an overview over your classes' attributes & methods in a nice popup!

A popup window appears after typing the "->" or "::" behind a class or an instantiated object variable which displays all attributes and methods of it's class.
