[TYPO3-dev] [tip] how to let your IDE know about $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']

[Ivano Luberti]

Generally speaking in PHPStorm you can use a notation like this

/* @var $myVar myClass */
$myVar = whateverStatementForFirstVarUsage;

and have autocompletion working in your PHP code.

Both your suggestion and mine where already published in an old post on
this list but it is nice to up it from time to time
