Netbeans Intellisense PHP Iterator Interface - php

Question

I'm using Netbeans 6.9 and writing a PHP class that implements the Iterator interface. I would like to have the IDE offer Intellisense as I iterate over the items in my object. It seems to work for the Zend Framework as I've noticed that when iterating over a Zend_Db_Rowset I get intellisense for a Zend_DB_Row. For example, when I write:
foreach($rowset as $row) {
$row->delete();
}
When I type "$row->" Netbeans pops up its code hints for the member functions of Zend_Db_Row_Abstract. Unfortunately, I can't get this to work for my own code. Below is a sample I tried to get to work:
class Foo {
private $value;
/**
*
* #param string $value
*/
public function setValue($value) {
$this->value = $value;
}
/**
*
* #return string
*/
public function getValue() {
return $this->value;
}
}
class It implements Iterator {
private $data;
public function __construct($data) {
$this->data = $data;
}
/**
*
* #return Foo
*/
public function current() {
return current($this->data);
}
/**
*
* #return Foo
*/
public function key() {
return key($this->data);
}
/**
*
* #return Foo
*/
public function next() {
return next($this->data);
}
/**
*
* #return Foo
*/
public function rewind() {
return reset($this->data);
}
/**
*
* #return bool
*/
public function valid() {
return key($this->data) !== null;
}
}
$a = new Foo();
$b = new Foo();
$a->setValue('Hello');
$b->setValue('Bye');
$testData = array($a, $b);
$myIt = new It($testData);
foreach ($myIt as $obj) {
echo $obj->getValue();
}
Strangely the intellisense seems to think $obj is an object of type It when I want it to think (and it actually is) an object of type Foo.

Within the body of the loop you can provide the type hint in a comment.
/* #var $obj Foo */
+1 for Brian Fisher's suggestion.
