It would be cool to see such a thing. As Frameworks like Zend Framework, getting wider to use, this kind of type
hintings will be more used. I guess this would be a cool addition to see this :) 

Sorry this has come to my mind just a bit later I have written the last comment. This might a bit extend to this:

I have a function/method such as this:
class Foo 
{
    public function bar(Test $var)
    {
        //Some code here
        return new Foo();
    }
}

And when I insert the doc block it enters like this:
/**
 *
 * @param <type> $var
 * @return <type> 
 */

As I have indicated the return type by calling of a constructor (or new keyword), it might be easy to find out which
class this was and insert a block like this:

/**
 *
 * @param Test $var
 * @return Foo
 */

Another thing might be in usage of this:

class Foo 
{
    public function bar(Test $var)
    {
        /**
         * @var array
         */
        $var2 = $var->getAsArray();
        //Some code here
        return $var2;
    }
}

As the type hinting is done via a doc block, it might be not that hard to create a doc block such as:

/**
 *
 * @param Test $var
 * @return array
 */

It might not be required to hint the type of $var2 as I know from another doc block that getAsArray() returns a variable
of type array.

Sorry if this has gone a bit crazy, I just thought, these might be cool :)

*** Bug 164221 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Works properly in 7.2.

Hy, sry but i have the same problem @7.3


public function test(){
    /**
      * @var array
      */
   $testArray= array();
   return $testArray;
}

if i gen the doc with /**<tab> over the function, it will be generate follow documantation


/**
  * @return type
  */
public function test(){
    /**
      * @var array
      */
   $testArray= array();
   return $testArray;
}

There are more things. The phpdoc inside a function is improper. It can't be there. If you want to use some doc to define a type of a variable, use VARDoc, i.e.

/* @var $testArray array */

(1 asterisk, @var annotation, variable name and variable type).

But in this case it works for me even without any vardoc comment, just with:

<?php

/**^
function test(){
   $testArray= array();
   return $testArray;
}
?>

If I enter on caret (^), then the result is proper.

<?php

/**
 * 
 * @return array
 */
function test(){
   $testArray= array();
   return $testArray;
}
?>

So sorry, it has to be an issue on your side. Try fresh reinstal of NB without importing of old settings.
