Bug 216258

i would like to suggest an PHP-Editor hint Feature on accessing nonexistant Class-Attributes!

I recently stumbled uppon an error written by myself like this:


foreach($liste as $item) {
  if ($item->fogleStatus && $item->folgeStatus>100) {
    // do something
  }
}

As you might see i had a Typo (foglestatus and folgestatus) within the if-condition!

I know that PHP is a dynamic language and that it is a feature of PHP to add and remove Attributes if necessary. But if you do work correct and clear object orientated and you do use things like composition and traits, you might avoid such dynamic changes and one might want to see a warning when accessing Object Attributes that are not defined! You don't get an error, as it is allowed to write such code.

I would appreciate to see such a hint. I do make intensive use of code completion, but most of my severe typos are bugs like the one above that could easily avoided by such an hint!

what do you guys think?
