Vim gives me too much options when I use code completion. In a class, and type $class-> it gives me about a zillion options, so not only from the class itself but also from php, all globals ever created, in short: a mess.

I only want to have the options from the class itself (or the parent subtype class it extends from), so context or scope sensitive code completion, just like Netbeans for example. How can I do that?

My current configuration is this:

I am using ctags, and created 1 ctags file for our (big) application in the root.

This is the .ctags file I used to create the ctags file:

-R
-h ".php"
--exclude=.svn
--languages=+PHP,-JavaScript
--tag-relative=yes
--regex-PHP=/abstract\s+class\s+([^ ]+)/\1/c/
--regex-PHP=/interface\s+([^ ]+)/\1/c/
--regex-PHP=/(public\s+|static\s+|protected\s+|private\s+)\$([^ \t=]+)/\2/p/
--regex-PHP=/const\s+([^ \t=]+)/\1/d/
--regex-PHP=/final\s+(public\s+|static\s+|abstract\s+|protected\s+|private\s+)function\s+\&?\s*([^ (]+)/\2/f/
--PHP-kinds=+cdf
--fields=+iaS

This is the .vimrc file:

autocmd FileType php set omnifunc=phpcomplete#CompletePHP
autocmd FileType python set omnifunc=pythoncomplete#Complete
