Description jkaushalya 2012-06-02 16:14:48 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.1.2 (Build 201204101705)
Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_25
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 20.0-b11

In PHP projects auto completion is not working inside the comments. For example, after /* @var It must show the variable names when typing $ and after that type. But it is not working. I tried version 7.1 and 7.1.2. But it is not working in both.

Comment 2 Ondrej Brejla 2012-06-04 08:12:33 UTC 
Comments has been rewritten at all for NB 7.2. It's an enhancement for next release (and afaik it never worked before).
Comment 3 amobilia 2016-09-22 16:49:27 UTC 
Reproductible in 8.2rc / Dev 201609210002
Comment 4 Xenos 2017-02-20 10:15:12 UTC 
It actually works in NB8.2 *but* as long as the actual variable appears *prior* to the comment.

/* @var $c|Ctrl+space */
$channel = new Channel();

Shows no auto-completion while

$channel = new Channel();
/* @var $c|Ctrl+space */

Does show one.

-----
It seems counter-intuitive to create the PHPDoc after the actual variable declaration, and move it up before... Still, it can be done that way.

It will also make the refactoring work for the PHPDoc. Ie, refactoring $channel here won't refactor the comment:

/* @var $channel Channel */
$channel = new Channel();

While here, it does so

$channel = new Channel();
/* @var $channel Channel */
