Thanks for the input, Moshe, and please keep on testing the bundle as  
it gets updated. (beta3 should be released later on today, with  
various fixes and new features. I'll post a mail to the ML when it's  
ready.)

Yes, this feature has always been part of the greater plan - as  
outlined in the PHPCC ToDoList doc (Automation->Run Command- 
 >PHPCodeCompletion->Show ToDo List  or Ctrl + Help ) included in the  
Bundle.

The reasons to why this functionality is not yet in this bundle is  
entirely due to me not knowing HOW to implement it.  I have a few  
ideas, but keep hitting some limitations/problems in most of them.   
If anyone can think off a solution that would work nicely, please let  
me know.

My current favourite is:  some form of parsing of phpdoc comments in  
defined functions/classes/methods, but that's not ideal either for a  
variety of reasons. Alternatively we could always roll back to user  
managed input of the completion. (ie: a command that you run on the  
function declaration you would want a completion for)

If everything goes to plan today, then beta3 will deal with much of  
this feature request. IF I hit some problems (or lack of time) then  
it'll be beta4 that will do it.

Please note though, that the default PHP.bundle already has a lot of  
snippets in it for normal control items (just like the default user  
stuff in phpcc originally) so you can type

Kind regards,

Mats
