Declare an object as a specific class in php

Question

Is there an opportunity, that will allow it to declare a variable in php as a specific object, so that IDEs like Netbeans can detect that Object and suggest me the possible methods and variable in that class?

What I know, is that it works with function like this example:

public static function add(\Event $element) { //The $element variable is now declared, that it have to be an Event object }

In the theory, my question looks like this:

\Event $events = EventContainer::getAll();

But unfortunately that wouldn't work.

Most IDEs will read phpdoc: phpdoc.org/docs/latest/references/phpdoc/tags/var.html — Steve

Use can always use comments above an variable to declare it class like /** @var $abc testClass */ anywhere in your code. — JustOnUnderMillions

In eclipse I usually use this pattern:

class Foo { /** * @var $barArray \Baz\Bar[] */ protected $barArray; /** * @var $bar \Baz\Bar */ protected $bar /** * @return \Baz\Bar */ public function getBar() { return $this->bar; } /** * @return \Baz\Bar[] */ public function getAllBar() { return $this->barArray; } }

That way eclipse knows by the javadoc what to use in autocomplete. It might work the same in other editors.
