How to explicitly declare var member type in php class

Question

If I can explicitly declare the type of the var member (esp. Another class as a member), then their IDE (for example, Dreamweaver) can know the member.

class PHPClass(){ OtherClass $member_var; } 

Answer 1

The only way is to use this documentation:

 class MyClass { /** * @var OtherClass This is my other class */ private $other; } 

Answer 2

You cannot do this in PHP, but you can get closer using the hinting type :

 class PHPClass { protected $member_var; public function __construct(OtherClass $member) { $this->member_var = $member; } } 

I do not know if this will help you in Dreamweaver.
