| <p class="intro"> |
| The language-aware NetBeans editor detects errors while |
| you type and assists you with documentation and smart code |
| completion—all with the speed and simplicity of your favorite lightweight text |
| editor. |

| <h2>PHP 5.4 Support</h2> |
| <p> |
| |
| The IDE's PHP code completion supports PHP 5.4 array styles such as |
| <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp/entry/php_5_4_support_array">array dereferencing</a> and |
| <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp/entry/php_5_4_support_short">short array syntax</a>. NetBeans IDE also recognizes |
| <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp/entry/php_5_4_support_traits">Traits</a> and |
| <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp/entry/php_5_4_support_anonymous">anonymous object variables</a> ( |
| also called "fluent instantiation"). Finally, NetBeans IDE for PHP includes |
| <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp/entry/php_5_4_support_minor">minor features</a> such as callable type hints, |
| binary notation for integers, and <code>Class::{expr}()</code> invocation. |

| <h2>Code Completion</h2> |
| <p> |
| The editor provides automatic code completion (for most common PHPDoc annotations as well). While you type, it lists possible |
| completions: The most obvious and common options are listed at the top, but you can always choose from the full set of options |
| at the bottom. If one completes a method with parameters, IDE tries to compute and insert the most proper variable which is |
| declared right before the completed method. |
| </p> |

| <span class="overview-right" id="im6"><img src="/images_www/v7/3/features/php/php-code-navigation_small.png"></span> |
| <h2>Easy Code Navigation</h2> |
| <p> |
| Use the navigator window or the Go To Type, Go To File, Go To Symbol, Go To Declaration, Find Usages menu items for easy code |
| navigation in large projects. The editor warns about potential code problems by flagging them and giving an hint in a pop-up. |
| A tasks window lists all warnings in the project, making it easy to find and resolve problems. |

| <span class="overview-centre" id="im24"><img src="/images_www/v7/3/features/php/php-refactoring_small.png"></span><br/> |
| The IDE provides some basic rename refactorings of elements (classes, interfaces, methods, fields, etc.). It's closely connected |
| with the Find Usages support which provides a way how to find a selected element through the whole project and display that usages |
| in a UI. |

| <span class="overview-centre" id="im25"><img src="/images_www/v7/3/features/php/php-hints_small.png"></span><br/> |
| The IDE provides a set of "Hints" which helps you to analyse your code and find some strange parts (unused variables, uninitialized |
| variables, etc.) and most of them suggest you some simple solution how to fix that found problem. |
| </p> |

| The editor can generate common code snippets for you in PHP. A dialog is provided to give you complete control over which methods |
| are created and which class attributes they access. The IDE assists you when overriding methods and generating accessors. |

| One of the most powerful actions of the NetBeans IDE for PHP is "Fix Uses..." action. It analysis your code and tries to find |
| usages of types (classes, interfaces) which doesn't have its corresponding use statement (it analysis PHPDocs as well). If some |
| naming conflicts appear the dialog is displayed and user can solve |
| that problem. |

| <span class="overview-centre" id="im25"><img src="/images_www/v7/3/features/php/php-hierarchy-view_small.png" /></span><br/> |
| The IDE provides a way how to show to user a type hierarchy (supertypes and subtypes) of a required type. Its graphical representation |
| is displayed in a sepatate window next to a navigator window. |
