title: How to set member type in Doxygen for PHP code?
body: <p>I'm trying to document PHP class members with Doxygen (I'm not using PHPDocs because the project involves COCOA programming, so I can use the same tool for both parts).</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * This is brief description. 
   *  
   * This is detailed description.
   */
   private $foo;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code gets the documentation done right, but I would like to include in the docs the type the var should handle.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to use \var and  \property, but then Doxigen does not generate the doc for the var.</p>
  
  <pre><code> //THIS IS NOT WORKING!
   /**
   * This is brief description. 
   *  
   * This is detailed description.
   * \var int 
   */
   private $foo;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have seen this post:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4325224/doxygen-how-to-describe-class-member-variables-in-php">Doxygen: how to describe class member variables in php?</a></p>
  
  <p>Seems that \var is not working in Doxyegn, but the post is a bit old and maybe there is something I can do now.</p>
