IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) are computer programs that facilitate efficient software development by providing features beyond those of a simple text editor.

An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a computer program that facilitates by providing features beyond that of a simple text editor. Some typical IDE features are debugger/ support, tools/support, design tools and even performance analysis tools.

An IDE is intended to maximize a developer/programmer's productivity by providing a streamlined interface tuned to the task of software development. A modern full-featured IDE includes advanced features such as preemptive hints (when typing the first character of a variable name, for example), and tools to analyze the program at run-time (such as a debugger).

PHPDoc type hinting for array of objects?

So, in PHPDoc one can specify @var above the member variable declaration to hint at its type. Then an IDE, for ex. PHPEd, will know what type of object it's working with and will be able to provide a code insight for that variable.
