Again yes, both do.
Hmmm...how could that be done in PHP, where variables are typeless?

It can only know by the name of the class. It ain't perfect by any

I *think* he may have been referring to this line of yours:

MyClass $obj = new MyClass('arg');

Since PHP is loosely typed, the "MyClass" preceding $obj is bad syntax.

And, if that's not the case, then @Chung Leong: The IDE keeps track of which class you assign to the variable. Zend Studio is even capable of doing this for assignments from a function call:
