Hello,

it would be great to have possibility to help autocomplete engine. If programmer knows something that autocomplete engine doesn't know, programmer could write tags in comments to declare that some variable is of some type.

For example, suppose I have a class Foo and local variable $foo (instance of Foo type, but autocomlete engine can't know this).



The solution could be something like this:



For now I always do the workaround like this

Good forum.

What about

?

What Jan said
You should really take a look a phpDoc, PhpED supports most of it.
Make a habit of prefacing all your functions with a PhpDOC block and type your variables as Jan described, it will help you tremendously. Even if you don't use it to generate documentation.

But some limitation exists:

$a['foo'] = new Foo();

$a['foo']-> *Press space enter and you see nothing*

And that is impossible to describe virtual methods of class with PhpDoc (realized with magic method __call )

No it isn't

For some reason that don't work

Guess they just added the tag to the list then and did not implement support for it. I just figured since the @property tags are supported that it would be the same for @method.
