Type hinting / autocomplete for Zend Framework in Aptana Studio 3

Mainly when you are working in ZF views, you don’t have autocomplete for your variables. This can be fixed by comment type hinting, which is a feature of Aptana/Eclipse.

Example of type hinting:

<?php
    foreach($this->jobs as $job)
    {
        /* @var $job Default_Model_Job */
        echo $job->getID(); //Methods can now be autocompleted
    }
