JetBrains WebIDE: PHP variable type hinting?

Is there a way to hint WebIDE that a variable has some type? I have to iterate an array of objects, and there’s no auto-completion available. This helps in ZendStudio:

/* @var ClassName $object */

I know there’s a feature in JetBrains to declare an array of objects:

/**
 * @return ClassName[]
 */

But this works only with function’s return type.

Answer

/* @var ClassName $object */ is a non-valid PHPDOC comment and is not parsed in the current version of Web IDE. Use double asterisks to make it work:

/** @var ClassName $object */

Also, you can annotate $array in foreach($array as $var) with /** @var ClassName[] $array */ and $var type will be deduced automatically.
