Hi guys, i was watching a video on youtube and noticed that the program the guy was using had a feature where it would pretty much suggest code as he typed. I remember something like this in visual basics and thought it would be cool to help me with PHP coding. Anybody have a clue what i am talking about

ok, i dont think this is what i am looking for. The program i am looking for looks like notepad++ but as you type your code a dropdown list appears with suggestions or predictions of what you are trying to type

OK, you're looking for 'code completion' or 'hinting'. Notepad++ offers this feature, but my current favourite IDE, Bluefish has a really nice feature for this:

Notepad++: You can set up code completion via the Settings > Preferences > Backup/Auto-completion TAB:
I saved the file as a php file first - I don't know if you need to do this beforehand - I assume you do.

I found it You have to go to settings - preferences- backup/auto-completion
select enable auto-completion - select word completion - - function parameters hint on input.
