Features
--------

[](#features)

PhpDocReader parses `@var` and `@param` values in PHP DocBlock:

```
use My\Cache\Backend;

class Cache
{
    /**
     * @var Backend
     */
    protected $backend;

    /**
     * @param Backend $backend
     */
    public function __construct($backend)
    {
    }
}
```

It supports namespaced class names with the same resolution rules as PHP:

- fully qualified name (starting with `\`)
- imported class name (eg. `use My\Cache\Backend;`)
- relative class name (from the current namespace, like `SubNamespace\MyClass`)
- aliased class name (eg. `use My\Cache\Backend as FooBar;`)

Primitive types (`@var string`) are ignored (returns null), only valid class names are returned.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$reader = new Reader();

// Read a property type (@var phpdoc)
$property = new ReflectionProperty($className, $propertyName);
$propertyClass = $reader->getPropertyClass($property);

// Read a parameter type (@param phpdoc)
$parameter = new ReflectionParameter([$className, $methodName], $parameterName);
$parameterClass = $reader->getParameterClass($parameter);
```
