NetBeans for PHP

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We are searching for all PHP NetBeans users who would like to help us with testing our new experimental build. Everyone is welcome but we would need a feedback especially from users who often have to switch from NetBeans to command line or any other external application (usually because of running some external tool for versioning, PHP framework etc.). All these external changes should be correctly propagated to NetBeans.
On the other hands, performance, especially on non-local disks, could be slightly worse, so if you have any PHP project with such sources, please, give it a try as well because we are really interested in your results.

Detailed information can be found on a special wiki page dedicated to this experimental build.

Thanks a lot for your help and for your feedback!

Code Completion for Namespaces - part I

This is brief overview how to use code completion for namespaced elements in NetBeans 6.8.
Namespaced elements are resolved according  name resolution rules.

See examples for namespace name definitions that are important for resolution rules:

// Fully qualified name
$c = new \my\name\ExampleClass();

// Qualified name
$c = new name\ExampleClass();

// Unqualified name
$c = new ExampleClass();
