  • 0

I like to have a space after function names, arrays, that sort of thing, so a function declaration would look like:

function myfunction ($param)
{
    $a = array ('a', 'b');
    callfunction ($a);
}

And although I have set the style guide in Netbeans to correspond to this whenever it does autocomplete/suggestions it always misses out the space and gives me something like callfunction($a) even though when I go source->format (alt+shift+f) it then formats the code properly.

Any way to get autocomplete to add the space?

UPDATE:

Just to make things clear, I have set up Netbeans to correspond to my coding preferences, as indicated by the ability to use auto format. The problem is auto complete (or whatever the hint thing is called) does not respect these settings, leading to the missing space.

    Go in Tools->Options.

    In pane Editor -> choose pane Formatting.

    In language choose PHP and in Category choose Spaces.

    Check all in Before Keywords, Before Parenthesis, Before left braces, and you can choose other properties if you want.

    Then when you will use auto-complete or Alt+Shift+F to reformat it will put the spaces correctly.

    EDIT :

    In the OP case it seems an other configuration prevents the auto-complete to works.

    This is my config :
