Description everflux 2013-01-12 21:48:22 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201301102100 ]
[ JDK VERSION : other ]

I have the following project layout

/ [PHP project]
/admin [HTML5 project]

I have PHP files in / as well as below the /admin directory serving the HTML5
part of the application. This may be the naive approach many small PHP projects
are developed, mixing HTML, Javascript and PHP files.
Even though I open the PHP files by navigating the PHP project, the PHP
features are not working correctly: Code completion, navigation is not working
as expected. Code highlighting does work, though.

Closing the nested HTML5 project does not improve the situation.

When I move the PHP files outside of the nested HTML5 project, everything works
as expected.

I am not certain whether this should be fixed by documenting a project layout
that work around the problems or if there is a fix in Netbeans possible.

If this is not considered a bug at least the documentation must be updated to
warn about this silent failing to prevent a unnecessary bad experience for new
developers.

Mixing/nesting projects is not supported. Simply use only PHP project.

Thanks.
Comment 2 everflux 2013-01-14 10:00:39 UTC 
It should be at least mentioned in the documentation that having Netbeans project files of a different type can interfere with the PHP features and how the projects should be properly organized.
I assumed that different project types would work well as long as you use the proper project type in the project view to navigate to the files and open them.

Adding Ken to CC, he is responsible for the documentation. Thanks.
