PHP Specify the Return Type Hints for a Method

Question

What is the correct syntax for me to specify the return type hints for a method?

For example, I have such a method:

private static function Construct         


        

Answer 1

Return type hints are only supplied by your IDE. Zend studio and PDT support the PHPDocumentor style doc blocks.
