I've been using your Dev-PHP version 2 for a while now as a subsitute for Maguma Studio. Although it is slightly lacking in features, its free.
Anyway, I downloaded version 3 and took a look, and I am very impressed. It looks great and its alot more useful.
However, the one thing you do seem to be missing is a function information pop up. In Maguma studio, I can type phpinfo(, at which point a little information box pops up that tells me a little about phpinfo, and what inputs it needs. It also shows which variable you are currently typing in based on the comma's.
I don't know how easy it would be to get this information, or how practical it would be to include. It would be a nice feature if you can do it though!
Addition: The function "auto-complete" also works on your own functions by showing any comment directly above the function declairation (1 single line comment or 1 multi-line comment)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I'm a maguma user as well and I totally agree with the first post in this thread. The "function pop help" feature is awesome. There is a similar feature in devphp3, but it only appears after you manually type the first "(" following the function, and it only shows the required arguments for the method. The maguma version auto-completes the function call, automatically puts the " ( " and " ) " in, and shows a pop-up help box, which includes not only the required arguments for the method, but also a description about what the method does. This is my favorite feature of Maguma, it would be great to see this in dev3.

I think the first feature you're talking about, in regards to the function info, has already been implimented.
enter a functions name followed by an open peren and it will display the functions required arguments.

Ah, there is a delay on making the help thing pop up which is why I missed it the first time round! :-)
