Question

I have started to use Dreamweaver CS5 for PHP coding. The PHP syntax highlighting works fine but I don’t get code completion and navigation to work.
For instance in other editors if I press the CTRL key while the mouse cursor is over a variable or function then I can jump to its definition with a mouse click.
Another problem is that when I define a class, usually a hint with a list of methods should appear after inserting “myinstance->” which is not the case in Dreamweaver.
Does Dreamweaver support this? If yes, how can I enable this functionality? Does this also work if the class definition is in a separated file which is referenced with “include”?

Regards,

I am using aptana studio based on eclipse but slightly faster than eclipse. It has very nice features such as suggestions, auto-complete, code-formatting, highlighting, showing syntax errors on the fly
