Description dancehands 2009-04-08 15:18:47 UTC 
When I'm editing a PHP script, like a controller script, that isn't a class object, the code refactoring is disabled.
For example, I open a PHP file, highlight a variable that is used several times throughout the script, and then go to
the main Refactor menu and everything is disabled.

I believe this was already requested, but I cannot find the existing issue.

I renamed the bug since its title has nothing to do with the issue.

Still, when I do a Ctrl+R a variable to refactor something in a non-class PHP file, I get the refactoring popup, and when I do the preview, it seems to work and rename the variable.

So this seems to be fixed in NB 8.2
But I believe this way of working (with global variables) is very hazardous when it comes to refactor and rename variables (it would be renamed across different templates, even non-related ones)
