Hello I'm running aptana studio 2 standalone on os X 10.6 and I've never been able to get a proper jquery auto-complete to work in a PHP project.

Php code completion works. Inside an .html file jQuery and html completes nicely as well. But to my frustration it doesn't complete inside a php file in a php project! And yes I've tried both the php and aptana perspectives.

I also looked at this Aptana Plugin for Eclipse and jQuery code assist And I scoured google for a good month to get a clue on the issue. Any help is appreciated.

I had this code completion fuzz in Aptana Studio, too. A bigger problem was the missing code completion for selfmade PHP-Classes that are extending other PHP-Classes.

That was one of the reasons for me to switch to another editor. I recommend you to give WebStorm or PHPStorm from JetBrains a try. Altough this is not a free editor (it costs about 50 bucks at the moment, but is free to try for 30 days) its really worth the try. Its small, fast and: the code completion and inspection works like a charm. Even HTML and JavaScript completion inside an works!

It even brings FTP and SVN/CVS/GIT support. Everything you need for handling small to big projects. I completely abandoned Aptana in favor for PHPStorm.

  • I tried it and couldn't get it to debug files called through ajax - is it possible? Aptana does it – Bijou Trouvaille Sep 17 '10 at 22:58
  • so i've switched to phpstorm and it definitely works better for php and javascript. From some comments i've seen Aptana is really gearing towards ruby on rails rather than php. – Bijou Trouvaille Sep 27 '10 at 17:42
