Question

Within the following code, $quiz_object->personalities contains an array of Personality objects.

// Loop through each personality th         


        

Answer 1

just thought I'd throw this in there for those using phpStorm.

I found the way to get the IDE to auto-populate the methods for an object was by including a quick if check beforeheand checking that the object exists and that the $var was an instance of said object.

Example:

            foreach ($objArray as $obj) {
            if (is_object($obj) && $obj instanceof DataObject) {

                $obj->thisMethodShouldBeAvailableInPHPStormNow();

            }

Found this question while searching for a better way, but the above works for me.

Cheers!
