Description adam.zivner 2010-05-03 17:10:47 UTC

Hi, in my project I have this class hierarchy:

A extends B extends C extends D

A has some properties which are used by B so these properties must be at least "protected". However, C and D do not use these properties and I'd like NetBeans won't offer me them in autocomplete.

In PHP you can't override (at least in direction protected => private) property visibility in subclasses so I tried to solve this on phpDocumentor level using @ignore (or possibly @access) keywords.

But it does not work. 

I'm quite sure that there are other use cases which would benefit from this feature - if you implement e.g. iterator interface, you have bunch of visible methods which you won't ever call directly.
