In PDT I can do

/* @var $this MyClass */

and eclipse will use that for autocompletition, suggestions and so forth… It’s useful in template files which get included into a function of a class from a templating engine.

Is there an equivalent for Aptana Studio 3?

I’ve also tried

/** @var $this MyClass */

and

/** @var MyClass $this */

EDIT

I’m evaluating the use of Aptana, it has some advantages over Eclipse + PDT. So, “use another IDE” isn’t really an answer.

$this does not get automatically resolved by the IDE to the correct class because it’s used outside of the class definition.

Example usage:

Template.class.php:

class Template {
    public function render() {
        include 'template.inc.php';
    }
    private function foo() {
        echo 'bar!';
    }
}

template.inc.php

<?php /*@var $this Template*/ ?>
<html>
<body>
  <?php 
  /* I want that when I type "$this->" the IDE suggests me "foo()" */
  $this->foo(); 
  ?>
</body>
</html>
