content assist in phtml files not working in eclipse helios pdt

Question

I got a problem with my content assist of html attributes in Eclipse Helios.

When I do something like

<div style="|"></div>

and hit ctrl+space, normally the content assist for the style attribute appears. This works fine for *.html and *.shtml files. But as soon as I rename the file to phtml, the content assist just fails and says no completion available. Anybody got the same trouble and solved it?

I don't really know if this is an eclipse or pdt or whatever problem, but its really annoying.

Answer 1

It's a bug in current PDT Release in Helios.

Answer 2

I faced the same problem when I used a Galileo workspace with Helios. I solved the PDT autocomplete issue by deleting the following file:

<your workspace name>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.dltk.ui.prefs

And restart helios.

I found the solution on the zend forum.
