Can you hint return types in PHP 5.2.5?

I think my eclipse's ctrl+clicking links might benefit greatly...

Edit: I'm using eclipse PDT.

Edit 2: I'm very happy with the solution of putting docblocks before functions (and variables) with an @return or @var statement, I've just updated the documentation of my app and now eclipse is showing me what functions are available to what objects!

Awesome.

Solution 
  • // [...]
/**
 * Return the Request object
 *
 * @return Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract
 */
public function getRequest()
{
    return $this->_request;
}
// [...]

    works perfectly with Eclipse PDT. Which plugin do you use?
