When I hover over a variable in NetBeans I got the info about the variable, but if the veriable is an instance of an object, I can't see the type of the variable, only when I do a ctrl + space on the variable. In PHPStorm you got the type of the variable when you ctrl + hover on it. Here is an example: $model = new User_Models_Article($param1, $param2, $param3); Output in NetBeans after Ctrl + hover $model: VARIABLE: $model (ProductsController.php) Output in PHPStorm after Ctrl + hover $model: $model: User_Models_Article So for NetBeans it would be nice to have this output: VARIABLE: $model: User_Models_Article (ProductsController.php) maybe the word VARIABLE could be removed, but I don't care.
Such less information I got when I Ctrl + hover over the instanciation of User_Models_Article. Example: $model = new User_Models_Article($param1, $param2, $param3); Output in PHPStorm while ctrl + hover User_Models_Article: public function User_Models_Article($productId, $articleId, $language, $param=false, $otherParam=2): User_Models_Article Output in NetBeans while ctrl + hover User_Models_Article: Applications/User/Models/Article.php __construct PHPDoc not found So what I would expect is this: Applications/User/Models/Article.php (__construct) public function User_Models_Article($productId, $articleId, $language, $param=false, $otherParam=2): User_Models_Article PHPDoc not found. Or smth like that. I know that the information works better if I use PHPDoc, but often you have code that you share with other developers and you have no process to have documentation etc. So please implement such feature.
