Description rabol 2008-11-27 16:39:26 UTC
It would be very nice if it is possible to highlight a word, hit a magic key combination and the word would be 
lookedup at www.php.net like this

fil_put_contents <magic key> open a browser - or inline view ala search result - and display the url 
http://www.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=file_put_contents

Interesting idea. This works already for core PHP *functions* like strlen() by invoking code completion while the cursor
is on the function name, then looking in the function description for the url to click. 

It DOESNT work for keywords like 'foreach' and 'return' though, nor for special functions like 'echo' (it took me awhile
to find one that did work actually). It would be great if all PHP keywords etc. had links to searches on php.net in
their descriptions. Basically everything that has the purple 'PHP' logo next to it in the code completion window. 

Not sure how hard it would be, but if its desirable I think the Code Completion menu is the place to show the link.
