I have just jumped on the Visual Studio Code bandwagon, but have hit my first deal-breaker: I can't get it to autocomplete variables that I've set inside of an included "config.php" file, where I would set variables like:



$some_var = 'something';


Then in another file I would include:



<?php
include 'config.php';

// etc.......


Then, in this file I should be able to start typing $som and hit TAB or ENTER and $some_var would be completed (possibly need to type more letters or select what I actually want if others matched the first few characters...)



With all this editor can do I'm BLOWN away this isn't something that works right out of the box!? really makes me wonder if maybe I am missing something...obviously it prevents errors/typos...not to mention the time saved just typing.



Anyways, here's what I've done:



On the welcome screen there's common options for "what I do" I used the php and javascript options; no keybindings



I then started to install several other extensions that looked promising from youtubers, and at some point noticed this issue...



I uninstalled ALL extensions and just picked the PHP option, no dice.



So then I started adding several "PHP ________" extensions, including; IntelliSense, Intelephense, Autocomplete, etc... ONE-BY-ONE and uninstalling if it didn't work, just in case there was a conflict - still no luck (obviously).



What am I missing guys!? I have not seen anyone else asking about this...I hope I'm just over-complicating it and there's something simple I've overlooked...



THANKS.




For what it's worth:



If I open the test file in a browser and echo the included variables, they're there.



I'm running Mint xfce, with LAMP:

  • It does work with PHP Intellisense - Crane on my visual code. However on first install it doens't always work instantly. I guess this is an index problem..

  • Thanks, funny enough PHP Intellisense - Crane is the last one I installed, and is still installed...I just closed out and restarted, nope. As for if it's a feature - I can't imagine it isn't at least an extension...I've been using Dreamweaver for over a decade and it does it. I also have Geany installed, and even it does it. Definitely a feature I think is a must have.
