Using Object from SESSION with Intellisense

Posted October 7th, 2008 by rsknowles

I store a small instance of a custom class in session and would like to retrieve it into a variable on the page and be able to use the IDEs intellisense.

require_once('myObjClass.php');
$myObj  = $_SESSION['MYOBJ'];

$myObj->someMethod();

Intellisense does not work on the $myObj variable. Is there anyway to get it to function when pulling a value from session? I'm not a great PHP programmer so I'm open to any suggestions and improvements.

    Where in your code you

    Where in your code you assigned $_SESSION['MYOBJ']?

    If you have:

    $_SESSION['MYOBJ'] = new myObjClass();

    then we will know the type of $_SESSION['MYOBJ'] and the type of $myObj.

    An alternative is to use PhpDoc comments to set the type of $myObj. VS.Php will pick the information from PhpDoc to identify the type of $myObj.

    That worked. Thanks.

    PHPDoc comments did the trick. Thanks!
