Is there a way for phpDoc to document an array of objects as a parameter?

Question

In phpDoc-generated documentation I can cause phpDoc to generate a link to a custom type definition for a given param using

@param CustomType $variablename
         


        

Answer 1

See the following examples from: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/source/checkout where is described the array structure of input parameters.

/**
  * Set the OAuth 2.0 access token using the string that resulted from calling authenticate()
  * or Google_Client#getAccessToken().
  * @param string $accessToken JSON encoded string containing in the following format:
  * {"access_token":"TOKEN", "refresh_token":"TOKEN", "token_type":"Bearer",
  *  "expires_in":3600, "id_token":"TOKEN", "created":1320790426}
  */


/**
  * Insert a new file. (files.insert)
  *
  * @param Google_DriveFile $postBody
  * @param array $optParams Optional parameters.
  *
  * @opt_param bool convert Whether to convert this file to the corresponding Google Docs format.
  * @opt_param string targetLanguage Target language to translate the file to. If no sourceLanguage is provided, the API will attempt to detect the language.
  * @opt_param string sourceLanguage The language of the original file to be translated.
  * @opt_param string ocrLanguage If ocr is true, hints at the language to use. Valid values are ISO 639-1 codes.
  * @opt_param bool pinned Whether to pin the head revision of the uploaded file.
  * @opt_param bool ocr Whether to attempt OCR on .jpg, .png, or .gif uploads.
