Please, it would be a real breakthrough for code completion to be able to recognize object instances stored in array, such as session arrays !

In the meantime, do you have a tip / workaround ?

I sometimes add an extra variable (not very satisfying though as it worthlessly lengthes the code source) which refers to the object instance with a phpdoc-style comment above it, like this:

FILE A:
====
$object = new Object();
$_SESSION['A'] = $object;


FILE B:
====
/**
* @var Object
*/
$a = $_SESSION['A'];


Someone's got another idea ?

I'll revive this post to throw my support in. I run into this all the time using $GLOBALS['objectname'] from within a function. This happens most often when doing database stuff for me, since my database connections (and associated methods) are in a global object that I often need to access from otuside the global scope:

I know it's easy enough to throw in a 'global $db' in each function, but that gets messy fast.
